(Book)

Fifteen years after leaving home to attend university, Declan Barclay has established a life shaped by the expectations of his influential family. During his university years he formed a close friendship with Colin Shelby, an aspiring actor seeking direction and support. Their relationship changed shortly before graduation, after which the two went their separate ways. Years later, Colin reenters Declan's life under complicated circumstances: he is engaged to be married, and the wedding is scheduled to take place at the Barclay family estate, where Declan is responsible for overseeing the arrangements. As the wedding approaches, Declan must confront unresolved feelings and past decisions while navigating family expectations and the limited time remaining before the ceremony.
