Fleishman Is in Trouble

Toby Fleishman wakes up to a text from his ex-wife, Rachel, informing him that she is headed to a place called Kripalu and that their two children are at his apartment. Toby checks and sees that his children are, in fact, in their beds, and then he calls Rachel. They argue over whether this was an irresponsible thing for Rachel to do, with Toby believing strongly that it was.

Toby wakes up his two children, Solly, a nine-year-old boy, and Hannah, an 11-year-old girl. They eat breakfast and then walk to the Y together, where Toby drops the two children off for camp for the day. While still at the Y, Toby is approached by Cindy Leffer, a friend of Rachel’s who also has small children. Toby gets the feeling that Cindy has taken a new, possibly sexual interest in him since he and Rachel separated. Toby leaves the Y and walks toward the park. As he walks, he checks a dating app and swipes right on a woman whose picture shows her lying in bed with her breasts partially exposed.

Toby receives a phone call from Joanie, one of the fellows Toby is training at the hospital.
