Grief broke their marriage, but divorce can’t untangle the children, restaurant, and love they still share.

Then one stolen kiss proves the past isn’t finished.

A second chance means facing what broke them the first time—and deciding whether healing can make room for a love that never really left.

Yasmen and Josiah are divorced but still share children, a restaurant, community, and an attraction neither can make administratively tidy. Their reunion depends on grief work, boundaries, and the willingness to accept that healing does not happen on one timetable.
