Seen At Last

She built the perfect life. It just never felt like hers.
Grace Brennan has it all: a thriving therapy practice, a surgeon husband, two children she adores, and a home that checks every box. From the outside, everything looks exactly right. From the inside, it fits like a costume she’s worn so long she forgot she was wearing it.
The only person who seems to truly see her is Allie, her colleague and closest friend. Long evenings and easy conversation with Allie become the part of Grace’s day that feels most like oxygen—until the attention she treasures edges into a longing she can no longer explain away.
When the feelings she's been circling finally take shape, they do not arrive quietly. They come with consequences. Her marriage fractures. Her family begins to unravel. And the woman she has fallen for waits, with a patience that has a limit, as Grace decides whether she can risk dismantling the life she built for a self she’s only just beginning to claim.
