Underneath The Heart

As Lucy is recovering from the trauma of her cold past, she meets someone.

A man.

His name is Sebastian Cole.

Lucy, still reeling from her ordeal, manages to find her way to a small, isolated cabin near the beach where she resides. Exhausted and disoriented, she collapses just outside the cabin's door. As she regains some strength, she hears the sound of footsteps approaching. Sebastian, a rugged yet refined man in his late thirties, emerges from the cabin. He's a local who lives a reclusive and private life, having retreated to this remote area for reasons of his own. He decides to help her into the cabin, where he tends to her injuries and offers her some warm clothes. As she recovers, she notices that Sebastian is not just a helpful stranger; there's an air of mystery about him. He seems to have his own secrets, and Lucy can't shake the feeling that he might be concerned to the larger dangers she's faced. She begins to sense a deep connection between them. His knowledge of the area and his kindness provide comfort, but his guarded nature makes her wonder if he's hiding something. Their growing bond becomes both a source of strength and a catalyst for uncovering deeper truths. He ends up falling for her desiring ways and is willing to go to the extremes even if it means to protect her from the bad people looking for them.
