I spent eleven years making myself smaller inside a marriage everyone else thought was good.

Then my father died-and left behind the tools from the life I gave up.

I wasn't planning to leave Sullivan Calloway.

He is hardworking, loyal, a devoted father, and the kind of man who can solve almost any problem put in front of him. But somewhere between building his business and providing for our family, my husband stopped seeing the woman standing beside him. And the more I return to the work I once loved, earn my own money, reclaim my time, and remember who Maeve Hardin used to be, the harder it becomes to pretend that being loved is the same thing as being known.

Now Sullivan has finally noticed I'm slipping away.

But noticing me is not enough.

Because every time I ask for something small, Sullivan turns it into something bigger-another solution, another purchase, another problem he can fix without ever asking what I actually want. And this time, I don't need him to rescue me. I need to know whether the man I married can learn to listen, to stay, and to love me when there is nothing left for him to solve.

Because losing myself once nearly destroyed me.

And loving Sullivan again means trusting that neither of us will let me disappear a second time.
