Everyone has heard of Claire Bennett. The girl who vanished. The girl who came back. The girl with the little girl. What nobody knows is why she left. Or who Emerson's father is. Claire plans to keep it that way. Until Garrett Graham starts asking questions. Until Emerson starts calling him Gare-Bear. Until the walls Claire spent years building begin to fall apart. Because some secrets don't stay buried forever. And some people are impossible not to love. A story about second chances, healing, hockey, and the family you never expected to find. 🩵🏒✨ started: 05/30/2026 finished: in progress
