After her father suddenly disappears and her family falls into ruin, a woman is saved by the hand of her childhood friend. He offers her a fake marriage to help her through her crisis, but makes it clear that it is only an act. Though his words hurt, she cannot show it, because he had already rejected her once, and even this arrangement feels like more kindness than she deserves. So instead of confessing her true feelings, she begins writing letters addressed to her husband’s future new wife.
