What's not to be ecstatic about? And then a new couple move in across the road: a very perfect, impeccable, tiny stranger with a Gwyneth Paltrow accent, and a man Sidney hasn't seen since she was 20. Sidney has never admitted to herself that Dylan broke her heart. But when she sees him again she begins to wonder...
