Niamh Lynch was 14 when her life took an unexpected turn. Sent to work on Patrick Feely's family farm, she saw it as a way to escape the chaos at home-a household overshadowed by her father's temper and her mother's silence. Patrick, then 16, was a quiet, reserved boy who barely acknowledged her at first. She didn't mind. Silence, she thought, was better than shouting. As time passed, the farm became her refuge. Patrick, though distant, began to show subtle kindness-fixing her tools without a word, waiting to walk her home after long days. She felt safe for the first time in years. By the time she turned 16 and he 18, their bond had deepened. Niamh fell first, captivated by his quiet strength and the way he saw her-not as the broken girl she tried to hide but as someone worth knowing. Patrick, who'd always kept his walls high, eventually fell harder. He admired her resilience, her ability to laugh despite the weight she carried. Together, they found solace in each other-a love that gave them both the strength to heal and hope for something better.

Cara Lynch, the third-born child in a large and turbulent family, has long been the unofficial mother to her five siblings. At just 16, she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, forced to protect her younger siblings from their abusive father while her disengaged mother offers no help. Despite the chaos at home, Cara finds comfort in her tight-knit group of childhood friends-Hughie Biggs, Gerard Gibson, Patrick Feely, and later, Johnny Kavanagh. But it's Hughie, now 17, who has always been her rock, quietly watching over her and carrying a deep, unspoken affection for her. For years, Hughie has harbored a secret crush on Cara, admiring her strength, resilience, and selflessness from a distance. When Cara is barely 16, their friendship deepens into something more, and their connection blossoms into a tender and fierce love. It's a slow burn, but one that feels inevitable-Hughie has always been there for her, and now, he becomes the one person who shows Cara what it means to be cared for in return. Though Cara is used to protecting others, she's never had anyone to protect her, just her older brother Joey, as Darren left them when he was 18. But Hughie is different. He steps up in ways she never imagined, keeping her secrets, standing by her side, and offering her the kind of unwavering support she's never known. He becomes her safe place, the one constant in her stormy life. As their love grows, Cara begins to feel a sense of security she's never experienced, even as she remains trapped in her toxic home environment.

Caoimhe Kavanagh, has never minded the chaos, she embraced it.
