❝ je te trouverai, trouble. ❞
in which a little boy says "dada" to the wrong man, a hockey captain raising a feral teenage daughter accidentally falls for a veterinary student held together by caffeine and stubbornness, and absolutely nobody in this story knows how to behave normally.
or
christopher saint-élian moreau's life is already a disaster.
he's raising a sixteen-year-old girl alone after losing her mother the day she was born, captaining one of the biggest teams in the nhl, and somehow still acting as the emergency contact for half the people in his life. his house is loud, exhausting, and permanently full of hockey players eating food they didn't buy.
then a tiny boy points at him in the middle of a café and says, "dada."
except the child isn't his.
his mother is sarang ahn - an exhausted fourth-year veterinary student, single mum, and the first woman in years who looks at chan like she can see straight through him.
one accidental meeting turns into another.
then another.
then suddenly sarang and her son are tangled up in the chaos of chan's life alongside éloïse - his sharp-tongued, feral teenage daughter who treats rules like suggestions and immediately decides sarang belongs to them now.
between hockey season, emotional disasters, found family nonsense, chan realises far too late that the life he built around surviving might finally be turning into something softer.
something dangerously close to home.
