In a marriage built on bitter words and cold shoulders, Liza has learned the art of emotional survival. She eats alone, sleeps alone, and has stopped caring about the man who calls her useless. John ,her husband, wears cruelty like armor, pushing her away with every cutting remark about her eating habits and worthless existence. But on their anniversary, the armor cracks. He cancels meetings to make her breakfast, remembers how she takes her tea, and books a reservation at the restaurant by the river-the one she mentioned loving years ago. Over candlelight and wine, the carefully constructed walls finally crumble. "I realized I was so busy being angry at myself that I pushed you away until you didn't care anymore," he confesses, his voice raw with a truth he's spent years hiding. Can a single night of honesty undo a lifetime of hurt? And when Liza whispers, "Prove it," is Lian strong enough to become the man she deserves, or will old habits poison their second chance before it even begins?
