Jordan has never been allowed to exist the way he is.
At twenty-three, his autism is dismissed because it doesn't look obvious-until the meltdowns, the echolalia, and the sensory overload become too much to hide. When his family doesn't know how to handle him, they send him away to people who will.
That's how Jordan ends up with Aurelio.
At twenty-nine, Aurelio is protective, steady, and far kinder than his mafia reputation suggests. Jordan is only meant to stay while things settle, while Massimo helps and Jordan recovers-but healing isn't as simple as anyone expects.
Jordan finds comfort in Aurelio, hyperfixating on the one man who never tells him to stop stimming or quiet down. Aurelio, in return, becomes someone Jordan can lean on, even when his trauma and self-destructive habits surface.
There is little keeping them apart-only Jordan's struggle to understand the world Aurelio lives in, and the slow, careful process of learning he deserves to be safe.
Sometimes love isn't loud or violent.
Sometimes it's the missing piece you didn't know you needed.
