More with You

I never thought I’d end up in a quiet town on the Oregon coast. But when I ran away to protect my little brother from the hell our mother put us through, it was the only place that felt safe. I wasn’t just looking for a new home—I was looking for a chance to breathe, to feel free, and to escape the weight of everything I’ve carried. I never imagined I’d find the adventure I’ve always dreamed of in a place like this.

Ollie could have been the fresh start I was searching for.

A broody British man with baggage of his own, he’s just passing through, carrying his own secrets.

So for a few months, we agree to pretend—no past, no future, no strings attached. For one summer, we can be whoever we want to be.

I was foolish to think I could outrun everything I’d left behind. And just when I begin to believe in something real, the past comes rushing back, ready to tear it all apart. This time, there’s no escaping it.

For one summer, we could be anyone. But even the perfect escape can’t erase the past.
