At thirty-two, Paige Bueckers has everything she once thought would make her whole: a wife she loves, a three-year-old son, a life built carefully and publicly.
So when the news breaks that June Holloway-Mercer-the woman who once refused to commit to her-has married a WNBA star, Paige is unprepared for the bitterness that follows. It has been years. She has moved on. She should not care.
But some love does not disappear. It decays slowly.
As the past resurfaces through headlines, chance encounters, and the spaces between what was never said, Paige and June are forced to confront the quiet damage of delay-of promises postponed, of futures half-imagined. Half-Life is a story about commitment that comes too late, the cost of emotional safety, and the lives we build while pretending we are finished with the ones we never fully left.
