⚢ 2022 Weeks after the Beijing Olympics, Eteri Tutberidze is still carrying a phone number she swore she would never use. Walking away from Vera had been the sensible choice. Necessary, even. At least that is what she keeps telling herself. She thought distance would make it easier. Quiet the thoughts. Fade the memories. How wrong she had been.

When life becomes too suffocating, she finally gives in and makes a decision. But wanting someone is one thing. Trusting them enough to let them in is another. Because sometimes the hardest part is not falling in love. Sometimes it is believing someone might stay. Especially for a woman who has spent most of her life preparing for people to leave.
