One-Shots

The night Leah moves out, there's no screaming. No slammed doors. Just a suitcase, a promise to still show up for the kids, and the heavy understanding that love isn't always enough to keep two people from breaking. After years of building a life together, Leah and Hallie are undone not by betrayal, but by grief. After devastating loss fractures the foundation of their marriage, Leah does what she's always done, she survives. She hardens. She buries her emotions so Hallie can fall apart safely. But silence has consequences. It steals ease. It steals intimacy. It steals the version of them that used to laugh in the kitchen and reach for each other without thinking. By the time Leah moves out, they're not enemies. They're exhausted. Couples Therapy follows three raw, vulnerable months of separation as they navigate co-parenting, sleepless nights alone, awkward FaceTimes, and the quiet ache of missing the person who still feels like home. Therapy forces them to say the things they've buried, about grief, about resentment, about the pressure to be strong for each other when both of them were breaking. But this isn't a story about a marriage falling apart. It's about whether two women who still love each other fiercely can learn to love each other better. It's about rebuilding trust after grief hollowed it out. Because sometimes walking away isn't the end. Sometimes it's the first step toward coming back stronger than before. © All rights reserved.

While out with teammates, a flash of white in a dark alleyway catches her eye. There, tucked behind a dumpster, lies five-year-old Emma.

Leah was supposed to be focusing on the upcoming season, but suddenly, the game doesn't matter.

She doesn't just want to save the girl; she wants to give her a home. But can a world-famous athlete provide the stability a "ghost" needs to finally be seen?
