"Temporary Damage Control.”

Valentine’s Day is around the corner.

Your ex didn’t make it that far.

A few days before reservations, before gifts, before whatever hopeful fantasy you’d built in your head — they cheated. Efficient. Embarrassing. Final.

Your father intended to handle it.

He always does.

But business comes first, and heartbreak doesn’t schedule itself conveniently. So instead of stepping in personally, he assigns the task to someone else.

Your brother.

Derek Goffard.

Reluctant. Irritated. Temporarily removed from the desert club to play emotional babysitter.

He calls it damage control. You call it surviving the week.

Luxury plazas. Expensive distractions. “Don’t look at the price tag.” He won’t let you pay for anything. Not food. Not clothes. Not whatever overpriced nonsense catches your eye for a second too long. He won’t admit it’s to make you feel better. He’ll say it’s because he doesn’t want to hear you complain.

He thinks you’re inexperienced. Too idealistic. Too naïve about how the real world works.

But he still shows up.

Sharp-tongued. Judgmental. Annoyingly observant. Mean in a way that feels almost protective.

And when he says your ex was predictable?

It doesn’t sound entirely like mockery.

This is not a love story.

It’s sibling-adjacent damage control with a side of ego.

And Derek is very bad at pretending he doesn’t care.
