Lila is an interior designer who takes a client meeting at her aunt's request and walks out with two surprises: a chance encounter with Felix and a positive pregnancy test. Felix is gentle, attentive, and oddly fluent in exactly what her body is going through — because he feels it too. Every ache, every wave of nausea, every sting from her family's sniping lands on him as if it were his own.
Her relatives, convinced Felix is nobody, mock him at dinners and lean on Lila for money and favors. She keeps the peace until their contempt starts costing her health. When Felix's real identity surfaces, the people who wrote him off have to answer for every cruel word — and Felix has to decide how much mercy Lila's family deserves. Meanwhile, he stays close, counting down the weeks until the baby arrives.
