Summary
Rumi and Mira have spent nine years building a life together. Through every high and low, they have always found their way back to each other. So when they finally decide to start a family, it feels like the beginning of everything they have ever wanted.
Mira promises she will be there for every appointment, every milestone, every moment. She promises that this time, nothing will come before them.
But promises are easier to make than they are to keep.
As the pressure of Mira's family, career, and expectations begin pulling her away, Rumi finds herself facing pregnancy with a growing loneliness she never expected. Then, when Mira's oldest friend Zoe unexpectedly re-enters their lives, the woman Rumi thought she barely knew becomes the person who shows up when she needs someone most.
Because sometimes the hardest part of losing someone isn't when they leave.
It's when they are still there, but you no longer feel chosen.
TL;DR:
Rumi and Mira's dream of starting a family begins to unravel when Mira's work takes over, and an old friend, Zoe, becomes the person who helps Rumi through the moments Mira promised she would never miss.
