The Chateau had always been more than a house. It was where the Pogues laughed until they couldn’t breathe, where bad decisions became good memories, and where you and JJ Maybank had built something that felt like home. It wasn’t perfect, but it was yours. Until one night, everything catches fire. With the Pogues trapped inside, chaos takes over as everyone fights to escape. You and Sarah are the last ones out, and when a falling beam comes crashing down, you don’t think twice before pushing Sarah out of its path. She makes it through. You don’t. Trapped behind the flames with no way back to the front door, JJ can only watch helplessly as you disappear into the burning Chateau. He doesn’t know if he’ll ever see you again. And when you finally find another way out, no one hears the window shatter. No one knows you’ve escaped. So while everyone outside believes you’re still inside the fire, you’re lying injured in the grass on the other side of the house, fighting to stay conscious. JJ is convinced he’s lost you. Until he finds you. The Chateau can be rebuilt. The memories can be replaced. But JJ knows there is one thing he could never live without. You.
