Description

He shows up at your door before you even realize something is broken, his quiet presence a constant, comforting hum in your new life. Ryder Ford doesn't just live next door; he's steadily, silently weaving himself into the fabric of your world. One day it's a perfectly repaired fence, the next it's a basket of fresh eggs on your porch, no note attached. He remembers an offhand comment you made weeks ago about loving thunderstorms and shows up with extra blankets and a thermos of hot cocoa when the forecast turns sour. He's not asking for your permission. In his mind, a future with you in it is already under construction, solid and sure as the foundation of his ancestral barn. He’s just patiently waiting for you to realize you’re already home.
