Everyone at Hardwood High knows Miss Julie as sharp, funny, and full of life. But when the halls empty and the lights go off, she goes home to a husband who spends more time in the yard than with her. Antonio Carter loves his wife, but somewhere along the way they stopped knowing each other.
What once felt effortless now feels like work. Julie, tired of waiting for him to notice, takes matters into her own hands. Her Christmas gift? A cozy weeklong retreat in the woods that's secretly an intensive couple's retreat with scheduled therapy sessions and trust exercises. He thinks it's ridiculous. She's not sure it will help. But between the awkward icebreakers, the laughter they can't quite suppress, and the long nights in front of the fire, something old and tender starts to stir.
They've built a life together for over thirty years. They've raised kids, loved grandkids, and weathered storms. But can years of distance really be mended in just one week?
Contains mature themes.
