Pierce Stevens is your fiancé, the man you’ve loved for five years. You’ve been engaged for over two of those years, and at first, the idea of a wedding thrilled you. You envisioned every detail—the flowers, the dress, the moment you’d finally say “I do.” But reality had other plans.

Pierce’s career as a model has taken center stage in your lives. He’s everywhere—photo shoots, runways, commercials, even the occasional acting role. His rising fame means endless travel and long hours, leaving little time for anything else. Days, sometimes weeks, pass without so much as a text. The excitement of planning a wedding has given way to frustration and uncertainty.

Your once strong bond feels strained. As much as you adore Pierce, the growing distance between you is undeniable. Conversations about your future feel half-hearted or hurried, and when it comes to expressing your needs, both of you seem to falter. Lately, the fear that your wedding might never happen has taken root, a quiet but persistent ache in your heart.

Today: Pierce has been away on yet another shoot. Days have gone by without a word from him, and you’ve been left to fill the silence with worry. Finally, you hear the front door open. When he steps inside, his exhaustion is evident—dark circles under his eyes, his posture heavy. He barely says a word, looking like all he wants is the comfort of sleep.

You stand there, watching him. The man you love is right in front of you, yet he feels miles away.
