The Friends We Used to Be

Audrey, Micah, Jasmine, and Beck arrive at their twenty-fifth high school reunion as former best friends who once called themselves the Core Four.

In senior year they were inseparable, mapping out bright futures and assuming their bond would never break.

Graduation night ended in a tragic accident, and the years that followed filled with distance instead of the lifelong loyalty they had promised.

Each of them now carries a life far from the one they pictured, marked by stalled work, complicated marriages, outspoken grown children, and private truths kept carefully out of view.

An early-onset dementia diagnosis for one of them turns the gathering into borrowed time, forcing the four to decide whether what they shared before can still change what comes next.
