   Summary

   after a messy ending in new york, you return home to texas hoping for comfort, clarity and maybe a clean slate. instead, you find yourself caught between what you want and what you know you shouldn’t- drawn to a man twice your age, burdened by his own unhappy marriage, what starts as casual familiarity, slowly unravels into something harder to deny, blurring the lines between right and wrong, and want and need.
