Summary
"She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.
"We're two friends having dinner."
"At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."
"It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."
"You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."
"That's not a date, that's paying attention."
"Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.
--
More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

Summary
Andrea Sachs learned to identify shades of red at 23, but it was at 24 that she understood what red truly meant.
Not the red of supermarket roses. The red that mattered was Pantone 19-1763, the specific tone Emily Charlton touched up every three weeks at Manhattan's most expensive salon. A red that didn't exist in nature. A red that existed only in Emily.
Seven years after Paris, after the box, after the silence, Andrea finally understands: loving Emily Charlton was never going to be pink. It was always going to be red. Burning. Dangerous. The kind of love that leaves marks.
Now Emily is getting married, and Andrea has one last chance to prove that this time, she stays.
A story structured around Taylor Swift's "Red," because some loves are worth the burn.
"Touching her was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of me."
