The Gift

After fifteen years of marriage, Jane knows her husband.

She knows what he needs. She just never thought she'd be brave enough to offer it.

For Max's fortieth birthday, she doesn't wrap anything. She simply asks: What if, for one week, I was completely yours?

What unfolds over seven days isn't the fantasy either imagined. It's harder. More tender. It asks questions about trust, control, and what it means to truly be seen by someone who's watched you for fifteen years.

A novelette about the spaces between what we want and what we're willing to ask for—and what happens when someone finally says yes.
