REWRITING FOURTEEN ╰┈➤ Tadhg Lynch ₊˚.༄

After the tragic loss of her sister, Caoimhe Young, Maeve realized the world could hurt her in ways she never imagined. She was only six when it happened, too young to truly understand what death meant. Told that Caoimhe had joined the angels and was watching over her, Maeve clung to the hope that one day her sister might come back-but she never did.

Growing up, Maeve often felt pushed to the sidelines. Caoimhe had always been the spotlight, and her other sister, Lizzie, struggled with BPD, making attention rare and life unpredictable. Yet, despite the chaos, Maeve loved Lizzie deeply-understood her in ways no one else could. And though Maeve didn't have BPD like Lizzie, she shared some of her traits: the anger that flared suddenly, the fear that gnawed quietly beneath the surface. Her dad often compared her to Lizzie, reminding her that she carried the same storm inside.

Now sixteen, Maeve hides her pain behind a carefully crafted facade, forcing her way through life while keeping the world at arm's length. And in the middle of that chaos stands Tadhg Lynch.

With his own devastating past, Tadhg masks his emotions behind his own walls, shutting everyone out. He and Maeve had never gotten along-an argument at age five had spiraled into years of tension. Now, they can't even be in the same room without sparks flying.

In a world full of loss, pain, and misunderstandings, Maeve and Tadhg will have to face not just each other, but the parts of themselves they've been running from all along.
