Gaia Ningthoujam has everything. A healthy relationship with her family, a friend group where she finally doesn't have to pretend to be an extrovert, a best friend who's actually an extrovert, a job she's always dreamed of, and single by choice. But she's a shut-in, considering how her job revolves around writing and drawing stories, she likes to keep to herself except for the occasional visits she gives the old pair that lives downstairs; the house owners (they like Gaia quite the bit honestly) it was either that or skyping her family and friends in the comforts of her pretty house positioned right beside the beach of Pondicherry. So, when she gets a wedding invite from an old friend she's excited out of her wits because it was not a formal invite but rather a come-to-my-wedding-and-stand-as-the-best-man-betch kinda invite.
But, there are two things Gaia avoids, one, regrets second is her dark past (the one that shall not be named). Here's the thing, If Mauri Thomas had invited her (someone who had changed schools after tenth grade) then he had no reason not to invite the then head-boy and her now ex, Dawn Gabriel. Oh but, Gaia wasn't gonna walk away from the god-given opportunity to attend a Christian x Hindu wedding she had always desired (or at least wanted to be a part of). Except she's forgetting something... It might not just be Dawn she'll need to avoid. She's forgetting her biggest nemesis happens to be Mauri's cousin.
Of course not. Who misses out on a bireligial marriage because of two enemies.
Bireligial doesn't exist IRL, but so does an undo button.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
