A Stepping Stone

Ziggy Johnson is finally living what should be her dream life. She’s moved in with her longtime love, Lana, and everything seems to be falling into place. But as they settle into their shared space, it becomes clear that their visions for the future don’t quite align. Lana is ready to start a family—now—while Ziggy is still adjusting to the realities of cohabitation and compromise.
Caught between the pressure to meet Lana’s expectations and her own desire for independence and career fulfillment, Ziggy begins to question what she truly wants. When Lana issues an ultimatum—commit to building a family or risk the relationship—Ziggy finds herself facing a life-altering decision.
Does she follow the path that Lana has laid out and risk losing a part of herself, or does she fight for her own dreams, even if it means walking away from the woman she loves?
