What We Deserve

A lonely man, still healing from his past heartbreak, works at his cousin's tattoo parlor and avoids deeper connections, relying on fleeting encounters to fill the void. When a shy, kindhearted woman named Emily arrives, he finds himself drawn to her, despite his rules against getting involved. As they grow closer, he senses there's more to her than meets the eye, and he becomes determined to protect her from her own dark past. Their burgeoning relationship holds the promise of new beginnings, if they both dare to embrace it.
