Garrett Graham and the Paityn have been casually dating for months when their relationship takes a turn after their first time together, when she tells him she’s always been infertile. A few weeks later, Garrett asks her to be his girlfriend, and what started casually becomes something neither of them expected. Over the summer, they navigate being apart for the first time through late-night calls, surprise weekend visits, missing each other, meeting each other's friends/family, and discovering that distance only makes them more certain about each other. But when senior year begins and graduation starts getting closer, conversations about careers, where they’ll live, marriage, and the future make her infertility harder to ignore. Garrett is already imagining a life with her, while she quietly fears that someday he’ll realize having children is something he wants—and that loving her means giving that future up.
