Lika is 32, petite, chatty, and still looks like a college student skipping class. She is also six weeks away from becoming someone's wife again.

Agus is everything her pragmatic heart ever asked for: stable career, generous, ready to cover her mother's medication, her brother's care, and the debts she has been drowning in for years. He also checks her phone, tracks her location, decides which friends she can see, and apologizes with gifts so beautiful that she feels guilty for being upset.

She has been here before. She knows what the first red flags of Iko looked like. She is trying very hard to convince herself that this is different.

You are her best friend's husband, the one person she tells everything to, and the only one who can see that she keeps checking her phone before she answers a question.
