For Zoe, it felt like when she went through a period of intense loss, it was like she lost a part of herself. When she ends up going back to work she finds that everyone is walking carefully around her while also hoping that she has returned to being her old self again. Despite wanting to feel that she is the same person that she always was, she knows that she has changed deep down and that things might not ever be the same again.

Zoe understands that she is never going to go back to being the carefree party girl that she was before all of this happened. When she meets Cian, her charismatic colleague who is working from home thanks to a bad climbing accident that has left him immobile for the moment, it seems like she has finally found some type of escape or something to distract her from her grief.

The two hit it off and are suddenly spending a lot of time with each other. They spend the entire summer doing their best to take shelter from the heat wave as they argue about Studio Ghibli and share vulnerable moments together. Suddenly her mind is not on her loss the way that it constantly was before.

Their friendship starts off slow but strong, and quickly grows into something deeper than that. As Cian grapples with his restless spirit and Zoe holds everyone at arm’s length, it seems like there is an endless list of reasons when it comes to motivation for them to slow this thing up and maybe even pause it for good.

Zoe has to make a choice. She can either go back into her shell and do what she can to stick to the safety of what she knows. Or she can put it all on the line and risk all of it by taking a leap of faith into something that she has no idea will work out. Is Cian the type of person that could be the one for her? Will turning him down now mean that ultimately they are not together in the future?
