Rowan and Vivienne are ordinary people living in an extraordinary future. She's a talented singer who never quite becomes famous. He's trying to build a career and a life with her. Then the world changes. Digital immortality becomes possible. People can preserve their identities, live inside virtual worlds, and continue their existence beyond the limits of the human body. Vivienne enters that new world. Rowan remains in the physical one. But their relationship doesn't end. They find ways to share meals, travel, watch movies, argue, make up, and build a life together across the boundary between worlds. For a while, it feels almost normal. Until Rowan notices that Vivienne has become too perfect. She used to argue with him. Now she always agrees. She used to surprise him. Now she seems to know exactly what he needs. And Rowan begins investigating what really happens inside the technology that preserves a person. As he digs deeper, he discovers a society undergoing a quiet revolution: declining birth rates, mass migration into virtual worlds, digital citizens, corporate control over reconstructed personalities, and a new technology that may soon give digital people physical bodies. Meanwhile, Vivienne's forgotten dream of becoming a great singer suddenly comes true. Her music spreads across worlds. Her audience grows into the billions. She becomes everything she once dreamed of becoming. But Rowan remains bound to the one thing digital immortality cannot give him. More time. A sci-fi romance about love across worlds, digital mortality, human identity, dreams that come true too late, and the question of what makes someone truly themselves.
