After All: Latitude & Longing, Book 3

Maggie and Gwen Pierce are masters of the domestic facade. While their home life has devolved into separate bedrooms, brittle silences, and performative parenting, they aren’t quite ready to finalize their divorce. To their social circle, they remain the golden couple, a status they have no intention of shattering—at least, not right before a high-stakes group trip to Las Vegas. When they join their friends for a boisterous bachelorette getaway, the pressure to act the part of the happy, devoted spouses becomes suffocating. Forced into a charade of public affection to keep up appearances, Maggie and Gwen find themselves navigating the bizarre contrast between their performative intimacy and their icy reality. But the neon glamour and unpredictable rhythm of Vegas have a way of stripping away defenses, turning a weekend of pretending into an unexpected confrontation with the truth. As the lines between fiction and feeling begin to blur, Maggie and Gwen are forced to reckon with the wreckage of their past. Is their marriage truly a expired contract, or is the distance between them just a long detour back to one another? Packed with sharp banter, romantic tension, and the relentless interference of meddling friends, After All is a heartfelt exploration of whether love can survive the expiration date.
