She married him to solve a problem. Practical. Guarded. Stronger than she lets anyone see. He married her to protect his son. Calm. Controlled. The kind of man who feels deeply but speaks carefully. Neither of them expected late-night laughter, quiet arguments, stubborn silences, or the way a child's tiny hands would tie their lives together. She never meant to stay. He never meant to fall. But sometimes the most inconvenient love becomes the only place you belong. 💕
