![]() ![]() By the time Chani and Gabe meet again, he, too, is divorced, and has been through counseling for his alcohol addiction. In between chapters that weave between Chani and Gabe’s first meeting and the present day, we watch Chani’s marriage fail and her divorce percolate. In between a move from New York to LA, she becomes a well-known interviewer and marries a writer she’s dating. ![]() Chani went on to launch a career with The Broad Sheets, a gossip website, based on that interview. Chani and Gabe spent a weekend together for the article’s sake, a spark lignited between them – and was extinguished when Gabe immediately married his co-star, Jacinda Lockwood. So when he requests she interview him again she’s more than ready to finally tie up the loose ends of the complicated, decade-long issues she’s had with their connection. The article that journalist Chani Horowitz wrote about Hollywood star Gabe Parker, just days before he began filming his first James Bond film, helped launch her career and continued to boost his.
