Love isn't always gentle. Sometimes it's raw, messy, and powerful enough to crack open the life you thought you were supposed to live. Callup is a man caught between routine and restlessness between a marriage that's slowly gone quiet and a connection he never saw coming. His relationship with Dawn once felt solid, but now it feels like distance disguised as stability. Then there's Cassie: magnetic, honest, and impossible to ignore the kind of presence that makes him feel alive again. As attraction turns into something deeper, Callup finds himself standing at the crossroads of love, duty, and desire forced to confront the unspoken truths in his life, the weight of his choices, and what it really means to start over. This is a story of consequences and courage of rebuilding after the line has already been crossed, and discovering that sometimes, losing what you thought you had been the first step toward finding who you really are.
