"Take the offer," Isaiah said. "Insta-families only come once in a lifetime, and this is yours."

An abusive past. A new beginning.

Elliot Jersey turned up on the Russells' doorstep, sick with the flu and filled with a lot of secrets. A knife fight with his dad forced him to run from home and filled him with a lot of self-doubt.

But soon, staying with them feels like a mistake. He has no right to fall in love with their daughter. A girl as great as her has no business with a boy like him.

Nor after how he's behaved does he deserve to become a part of their family.
