"Gone are the days of whispered dreams under shared blankets and unspoken jokes that made us laugh until our stomachs hurt. We had once felt like two halves of a perfect whole, our love stitched together by time, trust, and a belief that we'd always be on the same path. But now, that path had split - quietly, slowly, like the shifting of tectonic plates." --- Stella and Vaughn have been married for three years - a relationship built on many years of love and trust. After meeting in college, they quickly became the center of one another's world, and got married straight after graduating. But things have changed. Gone are the days of late-night talks and spontaneous laughter. Now, silence fills the spaces where connection used to live. Stella often finds herself staring at Vaughn across the dinner table, or from opposite ends of the bed, wondering when the comfort of routine turned into the weight of distance. Vaughn, on the other hand, is too occupied to notice the shift. Too busy with numbers and securing deals, Vaughn never noticed his wife slipping away until she was already gone. Vaughn is determined to win her back, but will the combination of the past, family, and friends stand in the way?
