She found two lines on a stick and for the first time in four years felt hope. He crushed it with a single sentence: "Abort it. I don't want it—and I don't want you." Loretta married Corbin to save a life, not to be loved. She survived cold contempt, public humiliation, and a jealous ex who plays crazy like it's a weapon. When she quietly signs the papers and disappears, Corbin wakes up to the space she used to fill—and to a slow, stinging truth: he might have loved her all along. This is a city story about a woman who stops waiting and a man who finally learns to chase. She won't be a martyr any longer; he will have to earn her back—step by stubborn, sincere step. Can a man who built a life around someone else’s lies prove he’s changed before it’s too late?
