The California dusk settled over Walker’s modest home, a stark contrast to the gilded cage she’d just fled. She stood on his porch, jaw tight, eyes bright with unshed tears, holding herself together by sheer force. Inside, the air smelled of rain and fresh laundry.

He didn’t offer grand gestures, just a presence that felt like an anchor in her chaotic world.
