When Emi's husband forgets his phone one morning, it only takes a few messages for everything to fall apart. She returns the phone in the middle of a board meeting and walks away from the life that she thought was happy and secure. But after the fallout comes reality. The money isn't there. The stability wasn't real. And starting over with two kids in her mother's one-bedroom apartment is a lot harder than leaving was. As Emi rebuilds from nothing, turning a quiet passion for ikebana into something more, she begins to understand that just like the flowers, she needs space, support, and patience to come into her own. Her husband thinks she'll come back because there's no way she can do it all alone. But, he's wrong, about more than one thing.

He broke her once. She survived losing him. Now he's back like nothing ever happened-and she's not sure she can survive that. Laura Hayes thought divorce would end the heartbreak. Instead, it only changed its shape. A year after walking away from the man who broke her, whom a part of her still loves, Laura is surviving rather than living, carrying loneliness like a second skin. And Adrian, buried beneath pride and regret, is discovering far too late that losing her hurts more than admitting he was wrong. When life keeps pulling them back into each other's orbit, old wounds reopen alongside something far more dangerous: hope. Because some loves do not disappear when a marriage ends. Some hearts never really leave.
