JENNY THOMPSON
Grieving, Healing, Loving
Jenny Thompson is just trying to keep it together. Five years after losing her husband, she's put everything into raising her two teens, holding it all in because, well, who else will? Love? That chapter feels closed—until Leo Mitchell steps into focus.
He's her son's best friend, practically family. So why does his steady presence feel different now? Warmer. Closer. Harder to ignore.
Jenny doesn't know if she's ready to open her heart again—or if she even deserves to. But maybe, just maybe, Leo is exactly the kind of unexpected she needs.
👉 Do you think Jenny should take the risk—or keep her heart guarded forever?
-
LEO MITCHELL
Steady, Playful, Unexpected
Leo Mitchell is the guy everyone can count on. Chill. Funny. The life of the party. But there's more to Leo than the easygoing college kid everyone sees. He's thoughtful. Protective. The one who quietly makes sure everyone else is okay—especially Jenny.
He's watched her from the sidelines for years, her son's best friend, practically invisible—until now. The way she looks at him lingers just a little longer, her smile softening in a way it never used to.
Falling for Jenny was never the plan, but love doesn't exactly wait for permission. Now Leo has to figure out how to show her that what they have—what they could be—is worth the risk.
👉 Do you think Leo can break through Jenny's walls—or will his feelings stay buried?
-
AMY LEWIS
Bold, Beautiful, and Unapologetic
Amy Davis always gets what she wants—and right now, that's Leo Mitchell. Confident, magnetic, and effortlessly charming, Amy is the girl who turns heads without even trying.
But when she notices Leo's attention drifting toward Jenny—the older, complicated woman carrying a past Amy can't compete with—Amy doesn't see romance. She sees a challenge.
Amy isn't the villain here. She's just never had to face losing before.
👉 Do you think Amy will win Leo's heart—or lose herself trying to prove she's enough?
-
JESSICA THOMSON
Fierce, Complicated, and Real
Jessica Thompson? Yeah, she doesn't do vulnerable. She's the queen of sarcasm, eye rolls, and locking people out. She'd rather let her art do the talking—page after page of bold sketches hiding everything she's afraid to say.
Losing her dad five years ago left cracks she's still trying to cover up. It's easier to act like nothing bothers her than admit she's still hurting.
But Jessica feels everything. She loves hard, protects harder, and behind that tough front is a girl who just wants to feel whole again.
👉 Do you think Jessica will finally let someone break through her walls—or keep hiding behind them?
-
TOM THOMPSON
The Quiet Protector
Tom Thompson is the guy who steps up. Always has, always will. Since losing his dad, he's been the rock—the calm, steady presence holding his family together. No drama, no big speeches. He just shows up.
But that kind of strength comes with a cost. He keeps everything bottled up, believing being strong means never showing cracks.
Now, with college on the horizon, he's starting to wonder: Who is he, really, when he's not the one holding everyone else together?
👉 Will Tom learn that true strength means letting someone in—or will he keep carrying everyone else's pain alone?
-
DAN THOMPSON
Gone, but Never Absent
Daniel Thompson wasn't just Jenny's husband—he was her safe place. The one who made life feel lighter, steadier, better. He left behind more than just memories; he left pieces of himself—his laugh, his love, his unwavering presence—echoing in the home he built with Jenny.
But love doesn't disappear when someone's gone. And as Jenny begins to feel something new, something real with Leo, that love feels complicated.
👉 Can Jenny love someone new without losing the memory of what she had?
-
MARK KINSLEY
The Almost-Perfect First Love
Mark Kinsley is the kind of guy you're supposed to fall for. Easygoing. Charming. The one with the warm smile and just the right amount of flirt to keep things interesting.
And for a while, he seems like exactly what Jessica Thompson needs—safe, uncomplicated, a distraction from the chaos in her heart.
But Mark doesn't see the cracks beneath her sarcasm. He doesn't ask the hard questions or push past the walls she's built. And maybe that's the problem. He fits the idea of a first love—but not the reality of who Jessica is becoming.
👉 Is Mark Jessica's perfect match—or just a reminder that love should be more than safe?
-
ETHAN KLARK
The Easygoing Anchor
Ethan Clark is the kind of guy who makes you feel safe just by being around. Chill, funny, the one with the quiet strength who listens more than he talks.
When he meets Jessica, he doesn't try to "fix" her. He just shows up. Gives her space, lets her be complicated without judgment.
He's the steady presence she didn't know she needed. But even anchors can be taken for granted.
👉 Will Jessica let Ethan be her safe place—or keep pushing him away?
-
DR. ROBERT HANSON
Charming, Compassionate, and Complicated
Dr. Robert Hanson is the guy who seems to have it all together. Polished. Successful. The kind of man who remembers how you take your coffee and actually listens when you talk. As a family friend, he's been part of Jenny's life for years, always steady, always there when she needed someone to lean on.
But somewhere along the way, his feelings for Jenny shifted—from quiet support to something deeper. He's ready for more. To be more. The safe choice. The one who can offer security and stability for a woman who's been through so much loss.
But Leo? Leo feels like a threat. Younger. Messier. Not the right choice for someone like Jenny.
👉 Will Robert fight for Jenny's heart—or realize she needs more than just comfort?
-
SARAH MORGAN
The Ride-or-Die Best Friend
Sarah Morgan is the definition of a best friend. Show up with pizza and bad reality TV? Check. Call you out when you're overthinking? Double check.
She's loud, sharp, and just the right amount of dramatic. But beneath the sass is a friend who's been Jenny's rock through every heartbreak, every moment of doubt.
Sarah's the voice of reason when Jenny can't hear her own—but even the strongest friends need space to heal too.
👉 Will Sarah keep being the rock—or start learning how to heal her own heart?
-
OLIVIA JOHNSON
Bold, Bright, and Unapologetically Herself
Olivia "Liv" Johnson isn't afraid to be seen. She's fearless, funny, and owns every room she walks into—basically the total opposite of Tom Thompson's quiet, steady vibe. Maybe that's why they work so well.
Liv challenges Tom. Makes him open up, step out of his comfort zone, feel. She's not just loud for attention—she's real, and she sees past his calm exterior to the boy who's still figuring out how to trust.
But the thing about Liv? She doesn't chase people who won't meet her halfway.
👉 Will Tom rise to meet her—or let his walls push her away?
What if the one you want is the one you shouldn’t?
