At 45, she’s ready for companionship but struggles to connect with men, feeling unapproachable due to her success. After meeting Colin online, they quickly bond over shared interests, though Margaret has lied about her age, claiming to be 30 to avoid rejection.

The day Colin is due to visit, Margaret is filled with excitement and nerves. She has prepared her home meticulously, cooking his favorite meal and decorating with fresh flowers. However, just before Colin’s arrival, Margaret receives a call from her friend Alice, who needs help with her car. Alice, grieving the loss of her husband, Nathan, asks Margaret to accompany her to the cemetery, where Alice feels unable to face her husband’s grave alone.
