Summary
You’re Robby’s daughter, home from college for the summer, (and yes, unfortunately, it is exactly one of those stories).
Your dad is supposed to pick you up from the airport. Big surprise, he doesn’t. He gets stuck at work and sends Jack Abbot in his place.
Jack is older. Jack is your dad’s friend. Which means Jack should know better.
One night isn’t enough. One bad decision isn’t enough. By the time summer really starts, Dr. Abbot is already in too deep, and you’re starting to think you don’t want him to find his way out.
______________
Jack’s hand came up and touched the hem of your tank top, fingers brushing the fabric at your hip. “All weekend, I kept thinking about you in my bed.”
“Then I’d look up,” he continued, voice low, controlled, and way too even, “and your father would be ten feet away asking if I had seen a chart.”
Your whole body flushed at once. “Jack.”
His eyes darkened at his name, but he did not let you derail him. “I’d think about you on my couch. Your mouth. The way you looked when you came. Then Robby would be there, talking to me like nothing had changed.”

Summary
Oceanside is supposed to be a fresh start—if a fresh start exists when you’re raising an autistic four-year-old, still legally tethered to an almost-ex who won’t sign the divorce papers, and sinking under debt that makes 'doing better' feel impossible.
So you keep your world small. Routines. Safety. Just you and your son. No distractions, no attachments, no chances for things to go wrong.
You came to Oceanside to begin again.
Andrew Cody is the one thing you didn’t account for. -

Summary
If Robby hovers, then Jack crowds. If Robby is keeping an eye on her, then Jack is staring right through her. Nico doesn’t fool herself into thinking Robby’s…closeness is anything more than his thorough teaching style. Even if the closeness makes her squirm, it makes her stomach twist with a different kind of nerves. Even if she likes that sometimes, when she has a moment alone, she can smell his deodorant on her scrubs.
With Jack, it’s a whole other thing. The man has a problem with eye contact and physical boundaries. He’ll stand behind her, talking her through a procedure, one arm practically wrapped around her waist to guide her hand, his voice a low rumble in her ear. She’ll lean back into him, making sure to brush against him a little more than is necessary. He stands too close to her, she stands too close to him, their hands brush as they rotate a man’s lung 180º to slow the bleeding, it’s all real fucking romantic if you asked her.
