Between Clouds and Closure

Ava Fitzgerald has spent the last year finalizing her divorce, twelve years of marriage ending in a courtroom in California. She is not looking for anything. She is definitely not looking for Bryce, the stranger who unclasps her seatbelt on a plane and hands her his number with a smile she has no business responding to.

She responds anyway.

What follows is three weeks of borrowed time, a man who sees her clearly, a sister who loves her loudly, and the slow, terrifying realization that moving on might mean something she was not prepared for.

Some stories do not end the way you expect. This is one of them.
