The opening of the book introduces Laurence Vanderlyn waiting at the Gare de Lyon for Margaret Pargeter, with whom he has shared a deep yet challenging emotional connection for years. Both are acutely aware of the societal and personal risks involved in their meeting, particularly as Margaret is a married woman and mother. As Vanderlyn reflects on their past interactions and the peculiar arrangement leading to this moment, a palpable tension builds. When Margaret finally arrives, their encounter signifies both a chance for happiness and the looming shadow of inevitable consequences, as Vanderlyn grapples with doubts about her choice to embark on such a risky affair.
