warnings: miscarriage

You can have everything you deserve if you work hard enough, if you fight for it. The career, the man, the family. Just be smart enough, fierce enough, dedicated enough, sexy enough, and you can have it all.

Except that it’s not true. 

Gwen must have known it wasn’t true or realistic, especially for everyone else. Maybe, deep down, she even knew it wasn’t true for herself. But who cared as long as she was winning? For a long time, she thought she could bend the universe to her will. For a long time, she actually did. 

terrible love

February 2088. Gwen Palmer is 35, Andreas Tsoukalos is 33, Luisa is 21 months.

that fateful summer

This story is less about what's happening now, and more about what happened before. Luisa Palmer is turning one year old today—now let's talk about who she is and how she got here.


Laney Thompson first laid eyes on her Greek dreamboat on an otherwise unassuming Friday night, while out on a bar crawl with her sister. The Greek Dreamboat was Ingrid's name for him, although Laney wouldn't disagree that he was a dreamboat. That he was hers was another question. Laney knew that Andreas never belonged to her even for a moment, and sadly he never would be.
