❝Question: do you want to go on an adventure?❞
___________________________
Ember is incredibly lonely and bored, so when she makes friends, plural, and is offered a adventure, she accepts. But who would guess that there would be trouble? That they'd run into a difficult child who is keeping a secret from them, or that they'd lose themselves in their anger at him, that there would be arguments or even that Ember would find herself a boyfriend?
❝uh, hey, I know you're older than me, doesn't give you the right to rob me.❞
❝I really only want you to be happy, and I'm trying to figure out how to do that...I love you..❞
___________________________
And then in a nearby orphanage, when a pair of orphans are separated and Jack's demons come to light, will his new family still care for him, or will they get rid of him? And will he ever be able to get rid of his demons and fear of being abandoned?
❝Good job on getting adopted, I am happy for you, really.❞
❝P-Please don't leave me..❞

She was the baby they blamed.
The sister they forgot.
Guilt runs deep.
Love runs late.
And time may not wait for them to make it right.
She never asked for much-just to be seen, to be loved.
Born the day their mother died, Lucia became the silent shadow in a broken house.
Forgotten by the four brothers who once cradled and kissed her as a baby, she learned to shrink, to survive.
But when a cruel illness leaves her helpless, they are forced to see what they've ignored for years-a little girl, aching for care, terrified to need them, and still loving them with everything she has.
