โฆ Synopsis
What happens when you meet the love of your life in your mother's kitchen, while helping your aunt to hide from her ex?
Rob's life finished five years ago. Now he's just waiting for it to end. Safe in his little cocoon, disconnected from everyone, he's living out the rest of his days. And he's content with that.
Until one February day life decides to smack him over the head. Again.
Zach's life is exactly what he thinks he wants it to be. But Mom knows better. Now he just needs to wrap up this funeral business and be on his way. ASAP.
But you can't run if a broken leg is involved. And would you really want to? Really?
Rob has a secret to tell.
Zach has a kitchen to paint.
Can they figure out what they want before it's too late? Or will the baggage they lug around end up burying them both?
Oh, and there is a cat. A spoiled, opinionated cat. After all, what is a book without a cat?
