About this audiobook

Some connections don’t ask for permission. They simply arrive. Stranded at Keflavik Airport during a North Atlantic storm, Margot is carrying more than most passengers dare to admit — her late husband’s ashes, a private ceremony, and eighteen hours she never planned to share with anyone. Eli is running on empty after months documenting a disappearing glacier, tender with the kind of grief that only comes from watching beautiful things dissolve. Two strangers. One terminal. The slow, dangerous alchemy of telling the truth to someone you’ll never see again. What begins as conversation becomes confession. What begins as coincidence becomes something neither of them has a word for. But as the dawn light creeps across the tarmac and their flight prepares to board, a name surfaces — and everything they’ve built in eighteen hours is suddenly resting on a foundation neither of them knew they shared. Some love stories begin with chemistry. This one begins with a reckoning.
