Parker Dean is a burned-out corporate attorney who rented a cabin for some quality falling apart. But when the neighboring homesteader's babysitter quits mid-tantrum and his little boy wanders onto her porch clutching a stuffed wolf, her plans change dramatically.
Garrett Stone appears ten minutes later — enormous, bearded, and running on fumes.
"He escapes." "Like a prisoner?" "Like Houdini with a juice box addiction."
💕 She offers to watch Noah temporarily. A week, maybe two. The boy is pure chaos, and Parker adores him instantly.
Garrett is harder to reach. Silent. Suspicious of her kindness. But she catches him watching her teach Noah paper airplanes, and the look on his face — hungry, terrified, hopeful — tells her everything she needs to know.
Things shift the night Noah has a nightmare and Parker sings him back to sleep. She turns to find Garrett in the doorway, eyes dark with something that has nothing to do with gratitude.
"You don't have to keep doing this," he says roughly.
"What if I want to?"
Her return flight goes unused. Her resignation letter writes itself.
Some detours become destinations.
