They don't find him broken.
They find him trained to survive.
Fourteen years old, still living under Pat's roof-where love is conditional, apologies don't exist, and fear is the rule. Jay and Will see it the second they walk in: the careful posture, the guarded eyes, the way their little brother tries to make himself smaller.
So they take him.
But safety doesn't feel safe to someone who's never had it.
Now they're navigating teen years with a boy who's carrying too much-nightmares, anger, shame, and a past that won't stay quiet. And Pat keeps trying to force his way back into their lives, drunk and demanding, like blood gives him the right.
Jay and Will will prove him wrong-one hard day at a time.
