After Louise’s grandmother died, she and Connor moved into her house, hoping to save money and start planning for kids. Life was good — until Louise renovated the second bathroom and strictly forbade Connor from entering.
Weeks turned into months, and curiosity got the better of him. One night, he sneaked in and found a small hole in the wall. Peering through, he saw dozens of creepy dolls staring back.
Louise caught him and revealed the truth: behind the wall was a hidden room filled with her grandmother’s doll collection — and it was also her private writing sanctuary. She secretly published novels under a pen name and wanted that space to remain hers alone.
Feeling betrayed by his intrusion, Louise asked for two weeks of space. Now Connor waits, hoping their marriage can survive the broken trust.
