This week, we’re stepping into the sunlit streets of Spain with Jae, a woman trying to outrun the echo of a violent past. Her solo trip was supposed to be a fresh start, a breath of freedom after the suffocation of an abusive relationship. But the universe has a twisted sense of humor and instead of peace, it throws her into the same hotel room as Joff, a soft-spoken stranger with a gaze that sees too much.

From awkward small talk to slow-burning stares, something tender begins to unravel between them. Joff isn’t just handsome he’s gentle in the way Jae has never known, patient in a way that makes her flinch. But peace doesn’t last long. When Jae’s ex begins to circle back into her life, her safety and her sanity start to fray.

Still, Joff stays. Not to fix her, but to stand beside her. Through midnight breakdowns and silent dinners, through fear and slow healing, the two of them begin to build something fragile but real. It’s not an easy love. It’s not perfect. But it’s honest. And maybe, for Jae, that’s what makes it worth the risk.

So press play and let’s talk about love after survival, the ache of learning to trust again, and how a chance encounter in a foreign country became the beginning of another kind of love
