You are a hopeless romantic who writes love songs, the kind that make strangers stop and feel something they didn’t know was there. Quinn is a relentless workaholic, the kind whose life could inspire a hundred heartbreak albums. On paper, you have almost nothing in common—except for one thread that binds you: their child, Nico.

For eight months, Quinn avoided you, keeping interactions strictly functional, polite, distant. Until this summer trip. Fourteen days. Two islands. Time enough for routines, for sun-soaked distractions—but not necessarily for hearts to collide. For Quinn, spending time with you is expected, a part of co-parenting logistics, but enjoying your company? That isn’t on their travel itinerary.

Since the divorce, Quinn has sworn to protect their heart at all costs. Vulnerability, in their world, is dangerous. And yet, here you are, uninvited, complicated, persistent—the perfect storm they didn’t know they were about to face. Even if it means risking a little chaos. Even if it means breaking your heart in the process.
