When Sadie, Lori, and their husbands go away for the weekend to celebrate a birthday, Lori’s husband, Ben, hints at a secret he’s keeping. Sadie is torn between revealing it to her best friend or staying silent—some secrets, after all, may be too risky to keep.
Sadie and Lori have been best friends since high school, sharing everything, including their marriages to Benjamin and Keith. Over the years, their friendships have grown stronger, and the four of them now do everything together.
To celebrate Keith’s birthday, they rented a chalet for the weekend. Everything was perfect until Benjamin, drunk, told Sadie he was hiding something from Lori—bottles, but not alcohol. The secret left Sadie anxious, knowing Lori’s history with her father’s alcoholism. Should she tell Lori?
Sadie confides in Keith, who urges her to talk to Lori if she feels it’s important. The next morning, Sadie tells Lori about the bottles. Lori brushes it off, but Sadie feels relieved that she’s shared her concern.
The next day, Lori texts, “You saved my life,” explaining that when she returned home, she smelled gas because they had left the stove on. Thankfully, she discovered antique perfume bottles Ben had been secretly collecting and selling to fund a surprise Paris trip for their anniversary.
Sadie regrets betraying Ben’s trust but feels justified in protecting Lori. Ben’s surprise remains intact, and Lori never reveals that Sadie spilled the beans. The couple is now planning their trip to Paris, and Sadie wonders if they’ll be invited.
