Summary
After Catherine disappears, Andrew Cody is left caring for Lena and trying to make the beach house safe enough to become a home.
Then you come into their lives.
You see the way Andrew loves Lena, the way he tries, the way fear has shaped him, and the softness he does not know how to trust yet. Slowly, carefully, you become part of the life he never thought he was allowed to want.
But Smurf Cody does not let go easily.
As Andrew builds something real with you and Lena, Smurf sees the beach house for what it is: a threat to her control.
A canon-divergent slow burn about grief, guardianship, trauma, chosen family, healing, and Andrew Cody learning that love does not have to hurt.
