The Things We Lost in Love

When Navy man Michael “Mikey” Donnelly meets Brooklyn-born Angie Marino, their chemistry is instant, electric enough to burn through distance, duty, and reason. From Queens wedding bells to sleepless nights on base, theirs is a love lived at full throttle: bodies first, words later.
But passion that fierce leaves scorch marks. As life closes in, new baby, old debts, and a silence neither can break, the fire that once kept them warm begins to consume them. What follows is a raw, deeply human portrait of love’s rise and ruin; sex as language, touch as apology, quiet as survival.
Months after being alone and half-healed, Mikey’s trip to Whistler, Canada brings him face-to-face with a woman who feels like sunlight after a long storm, and a reminder that desire and tenderness can still share the same skin.
Poignant, sensual, and unflinchingly real, The Things We Lost in Love is the story of two people who loved too young and too hard, and of one man learning that letting go is also a way to love.
