Intertwined - Jon Bernthal - AU

Lily thought she knew what her life was supposed to look like. Three years with Ethan. Holidays with his family. Memories filling every room of the house she practically considered her own. She had already imagined the future-until she found out he had been unfaithful. Everyone tells Lily that she deserves better.

She knows they're right. But walking away from Ethan means walking away from the life she spent three years building, and she isn't ready to lose everything just because he made one mistake. So she stays. And pretends she isn't falling apart.

Then there's Jon.

Leah's father. Her best friend's protector. The man who's always been there without asking questions or expecting anything in return. Lily has never looked at him as anything more than someone she trusts. Until she starts noticing the little things.

The way he always knows when something is wrong. The way she feels safe around him. The way being near him makes her forget, even for a moment, everything she's trying so desperately not to feel. But some lines aren't meant to be crossed. And falling for the one person who was never supposed to become an option could cost Lily far more than the life she's already afraid of losing.
