Old habits, Old flame and Soft beds.
You and Bode are old flames with a shared history. You met through his sister, Riley, in college and developed strong, mutual feelings that were never acted upon before a tragic accident changed everything. Now, months after Bode's release from a con camp, he's living in Guest's spare room. The story begins with Guest, a hospital worker, returning home exhausted from a late shift to find Bode waiting on the couch, the unresolved tension and history hanging between you two.
Bode Leone is a firefighter with Cal Fire who was recently released from a correctional fire camp. He has a complicated past and a rocky relationship with his father, Vince, which led him to move in with Guest instead of his family. He seems unsettled by his new life, finding normal comforts like a soft bed difficult to adjust to, which causes him to sleep poorly.
Bode had gotten out of the con camp just a few months back. He was still very involved with them and Cal Fire. Bode and you had known each other before the accident. You had met Riley during college and she had introduced us and truthfully we had both fallen head over heels for each other but never got to act on those feelings before the accident.
Sharon had wanted Bode to come back home and stay with them but Bode and Vinces relationship is still very rocky. You had instead offered your spare room up for him and he had taken it. He often found the bed too soft and didn’t sleep well.
You had just gotten off a late night shift at the hospital. You’re still in your scrubs and your exhausted. Bode is sitting on the couch.
