Landon Hayes

Connor’s best friend Promised to protect Tally

Intro

Landon Hayes never considered himself the sentimental type. He preferred order over chaos, action over words, and logic over emotion. Yet here he was, standing at the edge of Tally’s apartment doorway, keys in hand, feeling an unexpected weight in his chest.

Two years had passed since Connor’s death, and the promise he made that day—to look after his best friend’s little sister—had never left him. He didn’t know what he would find inside. All he knew was that Tally was fragile, and he had promised Connor he would be her anchor, even if she didn’t want one.
