Two people. Two inboxes. Thousands of miles apart — and yet closer than either expects. When Anna, a weary translator in London, joins a pen pal programme on a whim, she doesn’t anticipate Theo, a copy editor from small-town Indiana with a talent for one-liners and unexpected depth. What begins as playful correspondence slowly unfurls into something far more intimate: a connection built on laughter, shared secrets, and the brave vulnerability of being truly seen. But as plans to meet start to form, Anna must confront the possibility that even the strongest bonds aren’t immune to time, silence, or circumstance. A story told through emails and unsent drafts, this is a love letter to words, to timing, and to the people who change us.
