One diagnosis. One final adventure. One last chance at forever.
Luci and Tristan Worthington were supposed to have forever.
But five years into their marriage, they have become strangers beneath the same roof—divided by unspoken grief, buried resentment, and secrets neither has been brave enough to confess.
When Luci receives a diagnosis that changes everything, time becomes the one thing neither of them can afford to waste.
Determined to face what comes next on their own terms, Luci and Tristan embark on one final adventure: a chance to see the places they once dreamed about, finish the life they kept postponing, and remember who they were before their marriage began to break.
But the farther they travel, the harder it becomes to ignore what still lives between them.
Old wounds reopen.
Buried secrets come to light.
And the love they thought was lost proves much harder to leave behind.
Now Luci and Tristan must decide if a marriage broken by pain can find its way back before time runs out.
Tropes:
- College Sweethearts
- Marriage in Crisis
- Dual Timeline/ Dual POV
- Forced proximity
- Bucket list romance
- Always been her
