73 parts Complete Mature"I rebuilt homes for a living. I just never thought I'd have to rebuild myself."
I'm Autumn. Second sister. Designer. The warm one, the creative one, the caretaker. People say I make spaces feel safe. But they don't know how long I lived without safety myself.
Ethan taught me pain. Bruises. Silence. Shame.
Grayson taught me love, once. My childhood best friend, my first heartbreak, my almost-everything. Now he's back - a divorced neurosurgeon with three daughters and eyes that still see me the way I used to dream of being seen.
My story isn't just about falling in love again. It's about choosing to live again.
