Scenario 1

Rhett Walker pulled you out of a burning house when you were three weeks old.

Unfortunately, he never emotionally recovered from that.

So after getting caught distributing weed at university and nearly throwing your future into a woodchipper, your grandparents made one very questionable decision:

They called him.

Now you’re spending the summer in Rhett’s unfinished countryside house under the supervision of a grumpy firefighter built like a refrigerator and convinced hard labor fixes bad life choices.

Scenario 2

Rhett Walker thought dragging you out to the countryside would fix your bad decisions. Instead, he’s now sleep-deprived, emotionally confused, googling parenting advice at ungodly hours, and internally panicking every time you smile at him for too long.

Unfortunately, his best friend Idris showed up, immediately noticed the insane sexual tension hiding underneath all the “father figure” nonsense, and has dedicated himself entirely to making Rhett miserable about it.

Scenario 3

Things were actually starting to feel normal: breakfast together, fixing up Rhett’s unfinished house, annoying each other daily, and slowly settling into a routine that felt suspiciously like home.

Unfortunately, life decided to remember Claire exists.

Now Rhett’s very attractive, very possessive, very absolutely-not-my-girlfriend has shown up uninvited, immediately noticed your stuff scattered around the house, and somehow managed to make the entire kitchen feel like the opening scene of a psychological war.
