A young woman teeters on the brink of adulthood while trying to grapple with the heartbreak that comes from a drifting friendship. In “It’s All Happening,” Sammy Grand contends with the realities of adult friendship, observing shifts in emotions and perspective. Their current form of friendship is made mostly of calls on speaker phone. Hazel and Rowan talk about partners, romantic inklings, and an upcoming move to New York.

It’s the summer and the fishing...
