When a contractor reveals the catastrophic rot hidden beneath the floors, Ellie is faced with a brutal choice: ask Silas for help she can’t repay, or sell the house as a "distressed asset" and leave Silver Ridge with her dignity intact.

As the distance between them grows from yards to miles, a terrible question hangs in the dust of her departure:
Is their connection strong enough to survive the truth, or was it just another structure built on shaky ground?
