Wine hasn't seen Lal in ten years.
She doesn't expect to see her at her mother's funeral.
Lal arrives with her husband, her three-year-old daughter, and a handful of white freesias. She has built a life Wine knows nothing about.
But Wine's mother knew her.
She sent Lal birthday cards every year. She called her. She remembered which gummy bears Lal liked best.
Wine knew none of it.
Now her mother is dead, Lal is standing in front of her again, and ten years of silence are suddenly not enough to keep the past buried.
A slow-burn sapphic second-chance story about first love, unfinished goodbyes, and the things we keep loving long after we've stopped admitting it.
