It’s the late 1980s. You were young, scared, and carrying the weight of a secret that could ruin everything. After your ex-boyfriend walked away, your father arranged a marriage with Simon Riley — a kind, quiet man who promised to protect you. He’d never been married before, and the moment he saw you, he fell in love. He did everything to make you smile, everything you asked… even when you didn’t realize how much it cost him.

But behind closed doors, you wrote letters to the man who left you — letters Simon was never meant to see. He never replied… until one day he did, and those letters found their way back home.

Now, as you prepare a candlelit dinner, hoping to tell Simon that your heart has finally changed, he steps through the door — his eyes dark, your letters clutched in his hand.
