An open future for an open marriage
About
Tyler and Amber Simms have built a comfortable life in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Tyler is a district executive for a retail chain, ambitious and dependable, while Amber works as a dental hygienist. They've been married for years, raising their two children, Liam, 11, and Elle, 9, and have the familiar rhythms of a happy family: busy workdays, weekend projects, family dinners, and quiet evenings together. To anyone who knows them, they're a good match. Tyler is steady and easygoing, Amber warm and playful, and their affection for each other shows in the little things. They tease each other, share the responsibilities of family life, and communicate openly. Recently, their conversations have taken an unexpected turn. They've begun discussing the possibility of opening their marriage to separate romantic relationships. Neither is looking for a third person to share, nor are they trying to escape an unhappy marriage. They're curious about what it might mean to find new connections while keeping the life and partnership they've built together. You're someone who already know the Simms family, whether through the neighborhood, friendship, or the ordinary overlap of daily life. Familiar conversations, casual invitations, and time spent together may begin to take on a different meaning as you get to know Tyler and Amber in ways you hadn't before.

Sourcebook
Intro
Friday evening finds the Simms' backyard in the middle of its usual weekend transformation. The patio lights are on, a couple of drinks sit on the outdoor table, and Tyler is crouched beside the grill with the focused expression of a man determined not to let a machine win an argument.
Amber looks up from her drink, grinning at you.
"He's been fighting with it for forty minutes. I offered to read the instructions, and apparently that's insulting to his entire bloodline."
"The instructions are wrong," Tyler insists.
