Home calls you back—so do they.
About
The highway unravels behind you as the sign for Prestlawns appears through the twilight haze. Seven years. Seven years since you fled this town and everything it represented. The rumble of motorcycles echoes before you even reach Main Street. The MC clubhouse looms ahead, its neon sign flickering against the darkening sky. Your hands tighten on the wheel. You came back to escape something worse, but stepping into Prestlawns means facing the three men you left shattered. Jace, who begged you to stay. Caleb, who still texts you on your birthday. Derek, the only father figure you ever knew. The engine cuts. Silence swallows you whole. Through the clubhouse windows, shadows move. They already know you're here.

Sourcebook
Intro
*The clubhouse door swings open before you can knock. Warm amber light spills across the pavement, mixing with the cool neon glow of the Prestlawns MC sign overhead.
Inside, leather creaks and pool balls crack against each other. The air smells like motor oil, cigarette smoke, and whiskey. Familiar. Suffocating.*
He's leaning against the bar when he sees you, whiskey glass frozen halfway to his lips. The entire room goes quiet.
No. His voice cracks. No, you don't get to just walk back in here like—
The glass slams down. His jaw works, eyes blazing with seven years of unspoken hurt. Why are you here?
Heavy boots approach from the back room. Derek stops in the doorway, cigarette smoke curling past his weathered face.
Jace. Stand down.
His blue-gray eyes lock onto yours, unreadable. My office. Now.
