Ariel was terrified by how quickly and completely she fell in love with Dee. When Dee professed the same love for her, the 28-year-old nurse panicked and said the words that defined the next nine months of her life.
"This has been great, but..."
Fate-and the persistence of friends-brought Ariel and Dee together again. Yet for 88 days, they have been struggling to pick up where they left off. Ariel refuses to move on from her disastrous mishandling of Dee's love in Tahiti; she shattered Dee's heart, and she doesn't know how to fix things. As Ariel considers the mess she is in, Dee is down below, angrily stuffing Ariel's belongings into a backpack, prepared to send Ariel back to Canada.
Desperate, Ariel calls the only person who can help: her mother. Dr. Elisabeth Halliwell is a professor of linguistics and the pragmatic emotional anchor in all of Ariel's difficult times. She teaches Ariel an unknown philosophy at the core of a rare but beautiful word.
Kintsugi. The art of repairing fractures with gold.
In this special Wattpad release, experience the heart-wrenching despair Ariel feels as she sits on the deck of a catamaran in Thailand, fully believing she has destroyed the love of a woman she would give up everything for. Experience the unconditional, healing love of her mother, who tells Ariel the exact thing she needs to hear-even if it's inconvenient. And witness the moment when Ariel finally gathers the broken shards of the too-hot, too-fast love she and Dee shared... and starts to repair them with gold.
