In love with her college boyfriend but worried that they were too young for lifelong love, Karen Kaplan came up with a plan: They would break up but agree to meet again 60 months later to see if they were still both single and interested.

On this week’s Modern Love podcast, Regina King reads Ms. Kaplan’s thought-provoking essay, “Let’s Meet Again in Five Years.”

Ms. King won an Academy Award for her role in “If Beale Street Could Talk.” She currently stars in the HBO series, “Watchmen.” Ms. Kaplan is a writer in Summit, N.J. Stay tuned after the reading to hear more from her, Ms. King, the Modern Love editor Daniel Jones and another surprise guest.
