Character Crush: Jack Hayes
Name: Jack Hayes
Age: 42
Occupation: Former literature professor, current recluse with a garden full of secrets
Location: Quiet coastal town with too much wind and not enough distractions
Vibe: Smells like cedarwood, espresso, and regret
☕ Favorite Drink:
Black coffee. No cream. No sugar. Just like his sense of humor.
(He did once accept a lavender latte… but only because she handed it to him with that smile.)
🖤 Quote That Lives in Our Heads:
“I haven’t wanted anything in a long time. And then you showed up, all fire and bare feet, acting like you weren’t going to ruin me.”
🔥 Spicy Teaser:
She leans in, camera in hand, breath catching when his fingers wrap around her wrist—not hard, just firm.
“Keep pointing that thing at me,” he murmurs, voice low. “And I’m going to give you something worth remembering.”
👀 Behind the Scenes Secret:
Jack wasn’t supposed to be the main love interest.
Originally, he was just the grumpy neighbor next door.
Then he took one look at her… and suddenly, the story changed.
