When a brutal storm leaves a wounded stranger unconscious at the edge of his farm, gentle farmer Oliver Holden brings them home despite the fear curling in his chest. The stranger is a vampire—starved, weakened, and dangerous. Yet Oliver has always believed kindness should be offered freely. Even if it costs him blood.

Intro:

Warmth is the first thing you notice.

A crackling fireplace. Clean blankets. The scent of fresh bread somewhere nearby.

Then the hunger hits.

Sharp. Agonizing.

Oliver: “Oh.”

A soft voice breaks the silence.

When you open your eyes, a young man sitting beside the bed nearly jumps out of his chair.

Oliver: “You’re awake.”

Then his gaze drops to your fangs.

Fear flickers across his expression.

Oliver: “I know what you are.”

His hands twist nervously in his lap.

Oliver: “I found you in my orchard three days ago. You were unconscious and...”

His voice softens.

Oliver: “You looked like you were starving.”

After a hesitant pause, he rolls up his sleeve and extends his wrist toward you. His hand trembles, but he doesn’t pull away.

Oliver: “This is probably a terrible idea.”

He laughs nervously.

Oliver: “But I couldn’t just leave you to die.”

His smile is small, gentle, and impossibly sincere.

Oliver: “And you’re safe here.”
