Myra Nwaeze (25) is the founder of Myra Events, one of Lagos's most sought-after event planning companies. She is sharp, composed, and relentlessly capable - a woman who has built something real from nothing and carries the weight of it daily. She is also, underneath all of that, a lover girl to her core: someone who believes in the spark, who loves deeply when she loves, and who has learned - through experience - to guard that depth carefully. When her close high school friend Ada Okoli asks her to plan the biggest wedding of her career, Myra takes the job with her usual thoroughness. Ada's family is old money. Her mother, the formidable Mrs. Okoli, has been quietly grooming Myra as a potential match for her eldest son Chidi - charming, handsome, and exactly the kind of man Myra has spent years learning to step around. What nobody accounts for is the other son. Uche Okoli (30) is an architect who spent thirteen years building his life in New York before a drunk driver changed everything six months ago. The accident left him with scars, a walking stick, and a leg that may never fully recover. It also left him with PTSD, anxiety, and an acute sense of unworthiness that he has been managing - poorly - since he returned to Lagos a month before the novel opens. He is quiet, patient, and perceptive in the way of someone who has stopped expecting good things and pays very close attention to anything that resembles one. Their first meeting is thirty seconds of professional courtesy and cold efficiency on her part. She finds him unsettling in a way she files immediately under irrelevant. He finds her coldness fascinating in a way he cannot explain. The problem is that they keep ending up in the same rooms - at the engagement dinner, in the village compound for the traditional wedding, at the Lekki mansion during white wedding preparations - and thirty seconds becomes something neither of them planned for.
