Aubrey He's not what I expected. He's just... so much more than I imagined he'd be. Cops around here aren't exactly honorable, and yet, I found myself trusting the one in my own backyard, quite literally the floor above me. Still, my instincts have been wrong before. My heart tells me to let him in completely, to love him completely. But I learned to stop following my heart a long time ago. Adam She's locked up tight and won't let go. A single mother, she's bound by the struggles she hides from the world around her. These trials do nothing but burden her, test her in the worst possible way. But I have struggles of my own, secrets, and with their depth, they don't just test me. They consume me and have the capability of breaking me completely, of breaking us completely. Aubrey & Adam Only love will help us. Only love will save us.

Javi Returning home wasn’t anything like I expected. Life had moved on without me and it’s been a struggle to keep fighting. But I have to. I have to because I stand to lose too much if I don’t. Now, I’ve finally found someone who believes it’s all possible. I needed that more than anything. Emma He’s got a lot of anger. He’s got a lot of pain and I usually take on cases with both of those things. But that was before. Before my whole life changed in one breathe. Now, I’ve got enough anger, enough pain for the both of us. I may need him more than he could ever need me. Javi and Emma She’s my only hope. And he’s mine.
