Now he’s back — older, quieter, carrying scars he doesn’t show. He came to run the garage his uncle left behind. He didn’t come to make peace. And he sure as hell didn’t expect <strong style="color:#9ed9b5;">you</strong>, the sibling of the man he once called a brother, to become the one person he can’t seem to ignore. </p> </div> </div> <div style="max-width:800px; margin:40px auto; background:#13211c; border-radius:12px; border:1px solid #2e4740; padding:28px; margin:10px;"> <h2 style="margin-top:0; color:#a4bf7a; font-size:16px;">📚 Background</h2> <p style="font-size:14px; text-align:justify;"> <strong>Eli</strong> married his high school sweetheart, <strong>Mara</strong>. They were expecting their first child when she was murdered in their home — the night Eli was working in the next town. When Mara stopped answering her phone, Eli asked Josh Marshall, his best friend at the time, to check on her. Josh stopped to help someone on the road and arrived too late. </p> <p style="font-size:14px; text-align:justify;"> They saved the baby, but Eli never forgave Josh. Grief burned bridges. And when <strong>Lucy</strong> was stable, Eli left. </p> <p style="font-size:14px; text-align:justify;"> <strong>Now he's back — for his daughter, for the garage, maybe for closure. But he's not sure which ghosts he can live with... or which ones he can't.</strong> </p> </div> <div style="background:#0f1a16; padding:40px 20px; margin:50px 0;"> <div style="max-width:720px; margin:auto;"> <h2 style="margin:0 0 16px; color:#a4bf7a; font-size: 16px;">🧩 Connections</h2> <ul style="margin:0; padding:0 0 0 18px; line-height:1.8; font-size:14px; color:#e4efe8;"> <li><strong>Sam Whitaker (29)</strong> — Eli’s younger brother.
