Summary
Description: Claire Bennett has spent fifteen months crossing fifteen hundred kilometers whenever she can, determined to keep her long-distance relationship with Adrian Whitmore alive. She has made the flights, waited through his overtime, and carried the hope that one day their sacrifices will lead to marriage. Then a flight to visit Adrian is rocked by severe turbulence. Terrified that she may not survive, Claire writes farewell messages to her parents and to the man she loves. When she lands safely, she expects comfort. Instead, Adrian listens distractedly before returning to his medical journals. The hurt only deepens when Claire sees how quickly Adrian responds to the fear of his colleague, Natalie Hayes. He is willing to risk everything to help Natalie through a crisis, yet Claire cannot even receive a reassuring word after believing she was about to die. As old grievances surface, Claire begins counting the trips she has made for Adrian and confronting the uncomfortable truth: their relationship may have been carried by her effort alone. Even the homemade food she travels to deliver is treated as an afterthought, leaving Claire with nowhere to hide from the loneliness she has tried so hard to outrun. She still loves Adrian, but love cannot erase every disappointment. Now Claire must decide whether a relationship deserves to be saved simply because it has lasted this long—or whether saying goodbye is the only way to find herself again. Author Biography: Violet Hayes writes emotionally resonant romance about second chances, found family, and love that heals old wounds.
