From the back cover

It is New Year's Eve, and a man cooks a feast for Olivia, the woman he loves. She packs her bags instead, telling him she cannot spend the holiday with him. At midnight, her ex-boyfriend Luke posts a photo of Olivia leaning against his shoulder beneath fireworks. The man quietly taps Like, then tells her there will be no next year for them.

After the holiday, Olivia returns to find him distant. He no longer meets her downstairs, cooks for her, or remembers their gift tradition. He resumes drinking with friends he had abandoned for her, and he resigns from the job he took to stay close to her, having already accepted a dream position abroad. Olivia insists Luke is only a friend, yet she spends Luke's birthday with him and grows angry when the man stops calling to check on her.

As he quietly prepares to leave, Olivia watches him with growing confusion and unease, unable to understand why he no longer fights for her.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

It was New Year's Eve. I cooked a feast, waiting for Olivia to come home.

Olivia didn't even glance at the food. She just packed her bags.

She spoke coldly: "I can't spend the holiday with you this year."

I didn't say a word, just quietly ate the meal alone.

At midnight, Olivia's ex-boyfriend, Luke, posted a photo on social media right on time. Olivia was leaning intimately against his shoulder, with grand, sparkling fireworks outside the window.

The caption: "She said she'd drop everything and be here for me, as long as I asked."
