Summary
When Joe Miller reaches back into Ellie’s life, it is not with violence, but with paperwork, polite words, and the unbearable proof that some wounds do not stay closed just because time has passed.
As Ellie tries to keep herself, her children, and her new relationship with Alec Hardy from buckling under the weight of the past, Alec has to learn that love is not the same as protection, and staying does not always mean standing in front of the door.
A story about family, trauma, repair, and the terrifying tenderness of wanting a home again.
English is my second language, so please look kindly through your fingers at any small mistakes :)
