Mari Ito needed a fresh start.
Especially after escaping a relationship that made trainwrecks look cozy. She needed to ensure her, and her unborn child's, safety. Leading her to settle in a small rural town. Taking up the elder mayor on his job offer to become the new clerk of their general store. Now Mari simply lives day to day. Acclimating to new surroundings and hoping to have everything ready before the baby comes. While some days are overwhelming she never gives up. She doesn't have that luxury anymore.
Somebody was depending on her.
