Red Cards and Red Roses.

Red Cards and Red Roses.

Feb 15, 2026

Hi.

So.

It’s Valentine’s Day.

Which means I forced three emotionally unstable people to write Valentine’s cards.

You’re welcome.

This episode has: – no referees

– no breakdowns (hopefully)

– no emotional property damage

Just vibes. And questionable poetry choices.

Each of them wrote a card.

Yes, Nathaniel rhymes.

Yes, Kaiden made it intense.

Yes, Freya is somehow the most normal one (terrifying).

This is a soft intermission before I throw them back into chaos.

Think of it as emotional bait.

Also — huge, enormous, screaming THANK YOU to my ridiculously talented friends for the fan art. Look at them. Look at the audacity. The confidence. The “I will ruin your life but make it romantic” energy.

I didn’t ask for this level of power.

But I accept it.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

May your love triangles be fictional and your chocolates not disappointing.

Enjoy 💋

Roses are red,

The net’s stretched tight,

I chase every ball—

But you’re my real fight.


The crowd can cheer,

The world can shout,

Just say you’re mine—

And I’ll shut it all out.


Nathaniel ⚽



Art made by my daughter ❤️❤️❤️


You make my heart rise

like dough at five a.m. 🍞

You look at me

like I’m something worth choosing. 💛

I don’t know what we are —

but I know this:

When you smile at me,

I feel home. 🏡❤️


Love,

Freya 🧁✨

One square, then another —

Self-control is overrated

When you’re this sweet.

Three hearts. One town. And a love that hurts as much as it heals.

Freya is doing everything she can to keep her life from collapsing — captaining her team, working long hours in her family’s bakery, and trying to rebuild herself after the kind of heartbreak that doesn’t fade overnight.

Nathaniel, Eldermoor’s golden boy and the boy she once trusted with everything, suddenly wants to win her back. He’s trying — harder than he ever has — but apologies don’t erase the past, and love doesn’t magically fix what was broken.

And then Kaiden returns — Nathaniel’s childhood friend, the calm to her chaos, the kind of steady, emotional connection Freya never expected to feel again. With him, things shift in ways she isn’t ready for… and can’t pretend not to feel.

In a town where everyone knows everyone and secrets never stay buried, Freya is forced to confront the truth:

Love isn’t simple.
Healing isn’t linear.
And sometimes the heart chooses more than once.

This is a story about falling apart, choosing again, and navigating the messy, painful, beautiful ways we love — even when it hurts.
