Summary
Everyone thinks Bonnie Mills is unshakeable.
She works the worst shift in the worst trauma ward in Pittsburgh, holding lives together while quietly falling apart herself.
Jack Abbot isn’t trying to fix her. He’s just the only one who sees the cracks, and knows what it means to live with ghosts you never invited.
When the truth finally breaks through in the form of bruises no one can ignore, Bonnie disappears. And when she returns months later, healing on her own terms, Jack finds himself pulled into something careful, quiet, and devastatingly real.

Summary
If Robby hovers, then Jack crowds. If Robby is keeping an eye on her, then Jack is staring right through her. Nico doesn’t fool herself into thinking Robby’s…closeness is anything more than his thorough teaching style. Even if the closeness makes her squirm, it makes her stomach twist with a different kind of nerves. Even if she likes that sometimes, when she has a moment alone, she can smell his deodorant on her scrubs.
With Jack, it’s a whole other thing. The man has a problem with eye contact and physical boundaries. He’ll stand behind her, talking her through a procedure, one arm practically wrapped around her waist to guide her hand, his voice a low rumble in her ear. She’ll lean back into him, making sure to brush against him a little more than is necessary. He stands too close to her, she stands too close to him, their hands brush as they rotate a man’s lung 180º to slow the bleeding, it’s all real fucking romantic if you asked her.

Oceanside is supposed to be a fresh start—if a fresh start exists when you’re raising an autistic four-year-old, still legally tethered to an almost-ex who won’t sign the divorce papers, and sinking under debt that makes 'doing better' feel impossible.
So you keep your world small. Routines. Safety. Just you and your son. No distractions, no attachments, no chances for things to go wrong.
You came to Oceanside to begin again.
Andrew Cody is the one thing you didn’t account for. -
