After waking from a six-month coma, Mary struggled to piece her life back together. Her husband Damian seemed devoted—caring for her, doting on their daughter Zoe, and helping her through her recovery. But something about her fractured memories didn’t sit right. Flashbacks of the crash that nearly killed her returned slowly, revealing a painful truth: Damian had confessed to an affair and plans to take Zoe from her—just minutes before the accident.

Shaken by the memories, Mary confronted Damian, who broke down and admitted everything. He hadn’t caused the crash intentionally, but he hadn’t been innocent either. His affair, his plan to leave, and the cruel words he’d spoken haunted them both. He claimed the accident had changed him—that watching Mary fight for her life had made him realize what he stood to lose.

Mary didn’t know if she could ever forgive him. The betrayal ran deep, but so did her love for their daughter and the life they’d built. Damian promised to do whatever it took to rebuild the trust he’d broken. He asked for a second chance—not with grand gestures, but with daily commitment, starting with honesty and therapy.

In the end, Mary chose not to give up—not for Damian, but for herself and Zoe. “One day at a time,” she told him. It wasn’t forgiveness yet, and it wasn’t a promise—but it was hope. A cautious step forward from pain into healing, one fragile moment at a time.
