Summary
Eight hundred and seventy-three days sober. Rue and Maddy have been together for over two years, living in their cramped apartment above the laundromat. It's been home—messy, loud, and theirs. But when Leslie announces she's selling the house and moving to a smaller place, it forces Rue to confront something she's been avoiding: the fact that she's been holding her breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop, refusing to fully commit to a future she's terrified of losing. A chapter about what it means to build a home—not just a place, but a life. About letting yourself want things. About the terrifying act of believing that happiness might actually last.
