Mabel and Nathan Pearcey have been married for six years, and they’re practically inseparable. Their New York apartment is their little world, and Nathan is the clingiest husband imaginable—following Mabel around, constantly stealing cuddles and sleeping wrapped around her like a human koala. But when Mabel becomes overwhelmed by work, exhaustion and the amount of time they spend together, she finally blurts out that she needs space. Nathan hears something completely different: that she doesn’t want him anymore. As he desperately tries to respect her wishes while quietly falling apart, Mabel realises that what she needed was breathing room—not distance from the person she loves most. Now they have to learn that needing space doesn’t mean needing less love.
