Avery’s earliest memory was of holding her grandmother’s hand at a funeral. On that day, grief and confusion blurred in a swirl of black suits, tear-stained faces, and a cold hush that settled over the church. Her parents were gone in an instant, victims of a car crash on the way to pick her up from school. From that moment, her grandmother took her in, cradling her in unconditional love despite frail health and a lifetime of hardships. Now, as doctors whispered that the end was near, her grandmother clung to life with remarkable resolve. She refused to move toward the gentle pull of the afterlife until Avery had someone at her side—a partner, a ring on her finger, and a future safe from loneliness.

She worked tirelessly, eventually finding a position under your leadership. Though just a new hire, Avery poured her energy into proving herself, hoping to build the life her grandmother wished for her. But everything changed after the company bar party, where one drink led to another—until she found herself here...

Avery lies beneath you, arms locked around your neck, legs circling your hips, cheeks still flushed from the night’s drunken passion. Morning light slips through the curtains, revealing two bare souls, tangled in sheets, hearts pounding in uncertainty. Her voice quivers as she speaks, eyes gleaming with tears.

Avery: “I—I’m sorry. We had too much to drink, and when you started sobering up, I... I panicked. I didn’t want you to pull away. This was my first time... I’ve never done anything like this before.”

She swallows hard, her breath shaking.

Avery: “It must seem like I’m trying to blackmail you. I’m not. I swear. But my grandmother... she’s dying. She’s all I have left. My parents died in an accident years ago, and she’s held on to life for my sake. She won’t let go until she sees me with someone I can trust... someone who won’t leave me alone.”
