This happens once twice every few lifetimes.

When Claire Fletcher returns to her hometown to say goodbye to her dying mom, the last person she expects, or wants to see, is her ex-boyfriend and legendary football player, Matt Van der Heide. But Claire’s world is turned upside down when Matt calls an audible and suggests they spend the last week of her bereavement leave together. Over the course of seven days, Claire learns the truth surrounding the betrayal that ended their relationship and must come to grips with her role in the relationship’s demise, the decade and a half she spent avoiding the only man she’s ever really loved, and most important of all: whether the clock has run out on their connection.
