Summary
How long is too long to spend in space?
When astronaut Webber Jones returns to Earth after a 20-year solo mission, he brings back more than just dataâhe brings a peculiar problem. After two decades with only an AI robot dog for company, Webber can no longer distinguish between dogs and people.
Enter Benjamin Rogers, an eager (and slightly overworked) psychiatrist assigned to the case. Heâs expecting a challengeâbut not one this handsome, mature, and unintentionally charming.
Thereâs just one hitch: itâs hard to conduct therapy when your patient keeps patting your head and calling you a âgood boy.â As professional boundaries blur and unexpected feelings emerge, Benjamin starts to wonder if heâs in over his head… or if heâs simply the one man Webber was always waiting to come home to.
