A Divergence in Timelines
Emma’s desire to start a family wasn’t just emotional—it was biological. At 33, she knew the clock was ticking.

But for Emma, it wasn’t just about time—it was about alignment. She felt alone in her desire, left to navigate the pressure of biology while trying to respect her husband’s dreams. The growing disconnect between them started to chip away at their relationship in ways neither fully understood—until things came to a head.
