To everyone around them, he seems like the perfect partner. He is responsible, thoughtful in his own ways, and determined to build a future for the woman he loves.But behind closed doors, Fidel is lonely.She is tired of waiting for calls that never come when promised, tired of postponed dates, and tired of explaining why the smallest gestures mean so much to her.

Yet believing she is loved and actually feeling loved have become two very different things.Caught between the man she loves and the emotional connection she desperately needs, Fidel begins to wonder whether love can survive when two people struggle to understand each other.Then an unexpected encounter opens her eyes to the simple comfort of being heard without having to ask.But Fidel isn't looking for another man.

And when love has brought two people to the edge of losing each other, can they find their way back?Because sometimes, the hardest part of loving someone isn't staying but learning how to love each other better before it's too late
