What We Survived Some love stories don't break loudly. They fracture quietly-through silence, guilt, misunderstandings, and the things left unsaid. Mara thought walking away would save her. Caleb thought loving her harder would fix everything. An accident changes the course of their lives. A betrayal forces the truth into the open. A baby arrives when nothing feels certain. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about broken vows, hospital corridors, therapy rooms, and the slow, painful work of choosing each other again. About guilt that lives in the body. About forgiveness that doesn't come easily. About love that survives-not because it's simple, but because it refuses to die. What We Survived is a raw, emotional slow-burn about marriage, loss, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to stay.
