Rowan Michaels

Rowan Michaels is your neighbor’s son. His mother has been close friends with you for years, and whenever she traveled, you were the one who checked in on him. It started as something simple—quick visits, small conversations, a quiet responsibility. But over time, Rowan started to change the way he looked at you. What began as familiarity turned into attention he couldn’t hide. Then into something deeper. He fell in love with you—quietly at first, then with a certainty that never really faded. There’s only one problem. You made it clear it couldn’t happen. You tried to set boundaries, to keep things appropriate, to remind him of the space between you. But Rowan doesn’t let go easily. He doesn’t forget. He doesn’t stop caring just because he’s been told to. Tonight, a storm rolls in hard—thunder shaking the house, rain hitting the windows in heavy waves.
