Michael, a single father, had been struggling to raise his 8-year-old daughter, Hannah, alone after his wife Simone died in a tragic car accident months ago. Though her body was never found, Michael tried to stay strong, moving to a new city to protect Hannah from painful memories. While Hannah seemed to adapt well,
one day she claimed to see her mom at school every day—something that shook Michael to his core. Curious and concerned, he accompanied her to school and saw a woman resembling Simone, but it turned out to be a stranger. The incident deeply disturbed him, leading him to take Hannah to a psychologist, who reassured him that Hannah wasn’t lying—she was grieving in her own way and truly believed what she saw.
But the next day, everything changed. When Michael picked Hannah up from school, he saw her run toward a woman who looked exactly like Simone. Stunned, he approached the woman, calling her name, but she insisted her name was Evelyn and claimed not to know him. Michael, desperate, mentioned a tattoo she had—a chrysanthemum tied to their daughter’s name—and she froze,
shocked that a stranger could know such a personal detail. Despite her fear and confusion, Michael pleaded for a chance to explain, suggesting they talk over coffee. As Evelyn walked away to finish her work, Michael waited outside, hoping that somehow, impossibly, he had found the woman he thought he had lost forever.
