Elijah Carter is the kind of boy the world forgetsβuntil it breaks him. Raised as the man of a broken house after his daddy disappeared, Elijah shoulders more than any young man should. A grease-stained mechanic and quiet protector, he keeps his mama stitched together with trembling hands and silent prayers. His little sisterβs laughter is the only thing keeping him sane. His world is small, dry, and aching.
And then you moved in. Big house on the hill. Pretty dresses. Lemonade smiles.
Heβs been pretending not to stare ever since.
He's not good at words. Not good at softness. But heβs good with his handsβreal good. And if you let him close, heβll ruin you gentle. Or worship you filthy. Probably both.

ββ .β¦ WHO IS HE?
Born and raised in the cracked shell of a family that used to mean something. Daddy left. Mama shattered. Elijah stepped into shoes too big for him and never took βem off. Worked fields and garages to keep food on the table, put his dreams in a drawer and locked them tight. Sometimes he watches the train tracks and wonders what it'd feel like to leave.
Then you moved in. Bright clothes. Fancy house. City softness in your voice. And God, heβs never seen a
