Logic Before Havoc

They say love always finds a way, but what if the past keeps getting in the way... Odette is the girl who thinks before she acts. A girl who likes to set boundaries and never takes risks. Elijah is the boy who loved her before he even understood what love meant. Their story started at camp, when the pair connected over the shared weight of grief and the exhaustion of outrunning the shadows of their childhoods. Elijah longed to be her protector, but for Odette, love was an illogical choice. She rejected him, ran away, and thought life would move on. Five years later, an unexpected reunion stirs up old emotions, Odette feels the walls she's built begin to crack. Widowed, a single mother, and still hiding from the shadows of her family, this second chance feels more like a curse. When a wild, drunken night prompts a confession she wasn't ready to hear and ties them together in ways neither of them is prepared for, Odette finds herself running away once more. Two more years pass, and the pair are reunited once more when Elijah's company begins a collaboration with Odette's. As the truth of their pasts begins to unravel along with the betrayals and lies that bound them there, Elijah and Odette must face the fragments of a story they never truly understood a story woven with broken promises, buried secrets, shaken trust, and a love that lingers silent, relentless even after everything has fallen apart. Some loves are gentle. Some are wild. And some will chase you to the ends of the earth just to prove they never left.
