Amos thrives on routine and quiet, so being forced to temporarily move in with his brother Jayvion and Jayvion's girlfriend, Kiree, pushes him far outside his comfort zone. Adjusting to a shared space and new dynamics isn't easy for him. Things become even more complicated when Kiree invites her foster brother Kyson to stay. Fresh out of prison and carrying his own baggage, Kyson is someone Amos never expected to connect with. Yet an instant bond forms, and Kyson quickly becomes a source of comfort and understanding. As their connection grows, Amos knows there are things he isn't ready to share. Keeping parts of himself private feels safer, but living under the same roof makes distance hard to maintain when emotions begin to surface.

Whatever happened, it left me with major brain injuries. That part is consistent. The doctors all agreed on that much. Swelling. Trauma. Memory loss so severe it wiped my life clean like a chalkboard dragged through rain. When I woke up in the hospital, I didn't know my own face, my own voice, or why my body felt like it had been borrowed and returned damaged.

Hearing about your homie-your lover, being killed is a sad situation. Spending your time grieving over them only makes you want justice. Who knew the dead would come back and handle some unfinished business and hold secrets that weren't meant to be shared.

Outside, the world kept spinning-dark and dangerous and unpredictable. Demons would keep changing. Creatures would keep testing their limits. Maybe one day, even beings like them would learn how to love without destruction.

𝐌𝐱𝐌𝐱𝐌 A grieving single-dad, and his child trying to find their way...what could go right?

"Help me understand, how you speak your love language."

Khalan is the middle child taking care of his younger sister Tyra. She doesn't seem to appreciate him and when Khalan threatens to do her like she did him, she challenged him.
