Eve Shaw appraises paintings for an auction house. In 2015, on her 27th birthday, she receives an elderly visitor who thanks her as if they’ve met before, gifts her a small glass octopus, and tells her to please come back to the hotel.

Elliott is in Omaha for a stem cell transplant. The night before her surgery, her best friend encourages her to get out and live a little. In so doing, she meets Jamie. He’s been stood up on a date and they immediately hit it off. He takes her to the baking lesson he’s booked for the night and they spend hours laughing and talking.
