Neil still works in accounting and enjoys his comfortable, child-free lifestyle. But one thing has changed – his commitment to Anna.

After years of being serially unfaithful he has made a promise not to cheat, and they are happily discovering new activities together in a renewed relationship. Anna meanwhile has become even closer to Gemma (despite Gemma herself being one of Neil’s past liaisons). They meet often to put the world to rights over a glass of wine.

Tom also feels Anna is someone he can talk to and confide in. But if conflict between Simon and Gemma erupts, will the Bakers be sucked in again?
