Hold the line

Ethan Choi was trained to hold the line.
In the Army. In the emergency department. In crisis.

But nothing prepared him for fatherhood.

At home, there are no clear protocols. No chain of command. No guarantees.

Nathan wants to make his father proud - even when the pressure feels too heavy.
Emilia feels everything too deeply - even when she doesn't know how to explain it.

April believes love should be gentle.
Ethan believes love should prepare you for the world.

Each chapter follows a different stage of life - different ages, different challenges, different lines that threaten to break.

Because holding the line at work is easy.
Holding it at home? That's where the real battle begins.
