Embracing the Night

When Elise leaves Canada to build a life with her husband, she expects an adjustment—not a complete unraveling. In a country where she doesn't speak the language and doesn't understand the rules, every misstep carries consequences, and every silence feels loaded.At first, it's small things. A missing belonging. A rule she didn't know she broke. A look that lingers too long.As the boundaries around her close in, Elise begins to realize she may not have as much control as she believed—over her marriage, her choices, or even her own identity. And the people she depends on most may not be on her side.
