When a neo-hippie artist drags a New York City party planner to a yoga retreat in the Catskills for a week of togetherness, it could be the end of their relationship. Or the start of something new.
New York City event planner Michael Cove has managed to reach his thirties without ever having a real relationship. But he’s been dating artist Jude Kendrick for a record five months, and he’s finding it both exhilarating and frightening.
Jude knows he sometimes tries to push the relationship too hard, too fast. He only wants to get to know Michael better, but will pushing too hard mean pushing Michael away?
Getting to know each other requires spending time together. With their busy schedules, days go by with barely a phone call. When Jude decides they need to get away, Michael is reluctant to leave his business in the City behind, but he can’t say no to Jude.
A week of togetherness at a Retreat Center in the Catskill Mountains will either move them to the next phase in their relationship—or tear them apart.
