This is the story of the way the world is, has been, and could be.

This is the story of two North American couples in 2022 named Sarah and Michael, & Emily and David. Each couple decided to get divorced, but not for the usual reasons. They had been friends for years and had always been open-minded about relationships. The topic of becoming a polyamorous quad was bandied about, first as a joke, and then as time went on, seriously.

After a lot of conversations and careful consideration, they decided that it was the right step for them. They sat down together and came up with a plan to pool their assets and divide child and pet care equally. They consulted lawyers to help them navigate the legal process and they were able to make it happen.

It was not an easy process and they faced some challenges, but they were determined to make it work. They had to navigate the legal and emotional complexities of divorce, but they were able to come to an agreement that worked for everyone.

It was not a traditional way of forming a relationship, but it worked for them. They were happier and more fulfilled than ever before. They were able to create a strong and loving bond with each other and they were grateful for the opportunity to explore new and different ways of living and loving.
