“𝙃𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝙣𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙗𝙤𝙧.”

Ever since Isaac’s mother was diagnosed with early onset dementia, his life has revolved around caring for her. It’s been lonely, but he doesn’t mind as long as they’re together. Their move to Vancouver was supposed to make things better, but Isaac is having a hard time keeping himself afloat.

Then the neighbor’s tree comes crashing through his roof.

Chase should have listened to his dad about that damn tree. Should have, could have, didn’t. Of course, the tree ends up embedded in his neighbor’s bathroom, and damage control is all he can do. Things start looking up when the neighbor turns out to be the hot new librarian Chase likes to ogle.

To avoid a lawsuit, Chase convinces Isaac to let him do the repairs, but the fixtures aren’t the only things that get rebuilt along the way.
