Instead, Carla Connor ends up in a chaotic house full of strangers, cheap wine, and too many personalities to keep track of, including one quiet, observant blonde who seems to see right through her.

But somewhere between late-night kitchens, shared spaces, and conversations that hit a little too close to home, something starts to shift.

AU: When Carla Connor decides she’s done with love—she means it.
If five failed marriages have taught her anything, it’s that she’s done with being the one who always gets hurt.
