Summary
Lord and Lady Malfoy used to be passionately-in-love fools called Draco and Ginny. But ten years into their marriage, they live like strangers in the same house, sharing a bed, a name, and a polished public image that hides the emptiness behind closed doors. Every December brings the same ritual: a charity gala, a speech to deliver, a role to play… and all the things they never say.
But this year, Draco reaches for her again — and something in Ginny finally stirs. Old memories surface and the present cracks at the seams. With a past that refuses to stay buried and a husband determined to make them face it, Ginny has to decide what she wants more: to rebuild what they broke… or walk away before it breaks her, too.
For anyone who’s ever felt a little lost and wondered how they ended up here.
