The Party He Threw After Our Son Left (Marriage In Crisis #31)

The day our youngest leaves for college, I come home grieving.

My husband throws a party.

After twenty-six years of marriage and raising two children together, Hank is celebrating what he calls our freedom. Then, in front of our friends, he reveals the future he has already planned for us—the one he never thought to ask if I wanted.

Everyone else sees a devoted husband excited for our next chapter.

I see a man who has been waiting for my old life to end.

And for the first time in twenty-six years, I have to wonder how much of the life we built together my husband actually understood.

A later-in-life marriage-in-crisis romance about an empty nest, a long marriage, and finding your way back to each other when the future you imagined turns out not to be shared.
