    You can travel the world together and still feel the distance. A Canadian man returns to Greece with his Greek wife, hoping that time away-ancient ruins, mountain roads, olive groves warmed by sun-might soften what years of responsibility have tightened. They are not broken. But they are no longer certain they are moving in the same direction. As they travel, old myths surface alongside newer doubts. Symbols recur-the owl, the olive, the laurel-quiet reminders that love, like history, survives through attention and care, not grand gestures. What begins as a shared journey becomes an intimate reckoning with marriage, desire, aging, and the fear of losing the person who knows you best. This is not a story about falling in love. It is about choosing each other-again. For readers who love slow-burn relationships, emotionally intelligent storytelling, second-chance love, and romances where connection deepens through honesty rather than spectacle.
