Two people, one hotel room, and all the choices and complications that make up a life. After six years of a stolen hour here, another there, tonight is going to be different for Nick Holloway and Jenny Parrish. They've booked a room in a new luxury hotel in Manhattan, where they'll spend the entire night together for the first time.
