"I wasn't leaving you for another man, Shadow. I was leaving you for a grave."
Sonic and Shadow have been married for nearly twenty years. They have a home, two beautiful children, and a lifetime of shared battles. But behind the closed doors of their suburban life, the "Forever Love" they promised each other is fracturing.
Shadow is a ghost of his former self-distant, buried in his work at G.U.N., and haunted by the dark mistakes of his past. Sonic is struggling to hold the pieces together, his once-vibrant spirit fading under the weight of a secret that is slowly killing him.
When Shadow's old insecurities flare up, he fears the ultimate betrayal: that Sonic is returning to the arms of an old flame. He falls to his knees, begging for a second chance, unaware that the rival he's fighting isn't a person-it's time.
Sonic is dying. A terminal illness is stealing his breath, and he has chosen to hide the truth to protect the man who once tried to end his own life five times. But how long can you hide a secret that bleeds?
In a world of immortality and supersonic speed, can they learn to say goodbye before the silence takes them both?
