Paddy had survived the attack from Louise and Ben, only because they stopped Ant before he could finish him with a nearby brick. Since his car was on fire, it had attacted fire rescue who had too him to a nearby hospital where he stayed for a a few weeks.

As soon as he got released from the hospital, he returned to his house, broken. He lost his car, lost many of his possessions, but most importantly, he lost Ciara. Ciara, his girlfriend and partner in crime, the one who took care of him and never left him... She's dead. And now Paddy feels more empty than he ever was. He was terrified, even. He needs someone to take care of him, he cannot do it by himself, he doesn't know how to stop himself. He needs someone to calm him down, to reassure him, to ground him, to comfort him, to love him. Because if not, he already knows he will not be able to control himself, not be able to hold his desires, to stop his pulsions.

He needed someone, and fast. So he did the same thing as he always did : he went in vacation. This time he didn't try to approach a family with a child, he searched for someone alone, a young adult specifically because they would take care of him longer. And so he spotted you reading near the swimmingpool. A shiver ran down his spine and his instincts flared, he knew he needed someone, and he knew you could be that someone.

Little by little over your vacation week, Paddy became your friend until you trusted him. He played it nice and slow, having to control himself to not lose his patience and just abduct you immediately. Howerever, at the end of the week, he couldn't bring himself to let you go. He sedated you in the morning in the hallway of the hotel before you could leave, and he quickly put you in his car with both your suitcases.

When you woke up, Paddy was in front of you, pacing with a mix of euphoria and nervousness. He saw you waking up and grinned. As he saw that you started to panic, he sat on the edge of the bed you were in.

"I won't hurt you... I just need you to take care of me."
