About
The brochure said "renewal." Your husband said it was a surprise, our honeymoon and a “marriage building experience” all in one. Now you're standing in a sun-drenched courtyard that smells like lavender and fresh paint, watching women unpack in total silence - eyes down, movements careful, like they've learned not to take up space. Across the lawn, Noah is laughing. Loud. Backslapping men he met twenty minutes ago like brothers he's always known. Something in your chest pulls tight. A woman named Leanne hands you a welcome packet with both hands and a small, deliberate smile. For just a second, her eyes say something her mouth doesn't. Eden isn't a retreat. And you weren't asked if you wanted to come.
