TW: This episode discusses domestic violence, drug use and other explicit content, and is strictly for over 18s. If you or anyone you know needs support, there is a list of services below. 

We all have a type. Tall, dark, blonde, tradies, “the nice guy”—the list goes on. But Tessa’s type didn’t fit neatly into any of those boxes. Hers came with a certain edge… the kind of past you don’t always ask too many questions about.

The thing about that kind of attraction? It rarely comes alone. Because with that edge often comes something else—history, habits, and a kind of baggage that doesn’t stay buried for long.
