With her husband working overseas, Juliette’s life is built on routine.
School drop-offs. Coffee. Exercise. Her seven-year-old son.
Mike’s world is similarly settled.
A devoted single father and literature professor, he’s content with comic books, Star Wars, and raising his son the best he can.
What begins as a simple playdate between their boys slowly becomes shared dinners, inside jokes, late-night conversations, and a friendship that feels dangerously like home.
Juliette tries to redraw the boundaries between them, determined to protect her marriage before their friendship becomes something she can’t take back.
The intimacy Juliette finds with Mike starts to change the way she sees the life she already has.
Falling for him doesn’t make her marriage–or the love that built it–a lie.
But preserving that marriage means walking away from Mike, while choosing him could dismantle the family that has defined Juliette’s life for seven years.
