Nora spent eleven years absorbing every bedtime, doctor visit, and school run while Elliot claimed children overwhelmed him. The mask slips at Poppy's graduation when the girl screams for a father who never shows. Hours later, Nora finds him at a mall hoisting Maisie, his college ex-wife's daughter, onto his shoulders and tying tiny laces with infinite gentleness. The contrast snaps something loose. She files for divorce, triggering a ninety-day cooling-off window that forces Elliot to finally attempt the daily grind of fatherhood while Nora tastes freedom for the first time in over a decade.
