Couple Friends (Story #57)

This is the Solitaire Story I wrote on 3/16/26. This is the story of three sets of couples who all yearn to be close friends with other couples. It starts as an aspirational, "successful adult couples have couple friends" sort of thing, but becomes something a bit more important to all of them. The tone of this one is a bit too silly to be a proper satire, and a bit too serious to be a farce... I guess it kind of lands in "droll comedy of manners" territory, but I like to think it's slightly weirder-in-a-good-way than that description would imply. Find out if you agree!
