Lillian Smith lives quietly, writing obituaries for people whose stories have ended while her own feels like it never began. Her husband barely notices her, her teenage son barely speaks, and every day blends into the next, until she meets David. He’s charming, attentive, and everything her life isn’t. One coffee becomes a confession. One lie becomes two. Soon, she’s living a double life.
But freedom comes with a price. When traces of her affair surface online, Lillian’s carefully balanced worlds start to collapse. Someone is watching her, someone who knows more than they should.
As her secrets close in, she must decide which version of herself will survive, the perfect wife or the woman who finally dared to feel alive.
