   Summary

   She married the man she thought she loved. He married the woman he thought he was supposed to love. Between two pregnancies, a collapsing marriage and a love both of them do not acknowledge, Hinata and Naruto slowly come undone. Neji, in love with her for years, hides how completely he broke and becomes her caretaker. As everything falls apart, Naruto finds himself drawn back to Sasuke. Then, Neji goes missing.

   NejiHina centric mostly. Endgame: Neji/Hinata and Naruto/Sasuke.
