Vivienne is brilliant, focused, and knows exactly what she wants-until Noah enters her life. A medical student with a future mapped out, she never planned on falling in love, especially not with Noah, the charming aeronautical engineering student haunted by the recent death of his girlfriend, Celine. When a chance meeting draws them together, Noah finds solace in Vivienne's calm and understanding presence, and slowly, their lives intertwine.
But beneath Vivienne's composed exterior, there's more to her than meets the eye. As Noah grapples with the weight of his grief, Vivienne expertly slips into the cracks of his life, offering everything he needs. Yet, as their relationship deepens, so do the questions Noah never thought to ask. Why does Vivienne always seem to know just what to say? Why does his past, and Celine's memory, feel increasingly distant?
With each passing day, Noah's world becomes more uncertain-and the woman he loves might just be the one pulling all the strings. Secrets can only stay buried for so long, and when they surface, it won't be the truth that breaks him-it will be who's been hiding it.
