She’s saved his life hundreds of times.
Livia’s smiled at Blake 446 times as of a few seconds ago. That number and a piece of cardboard with hand drawn piano keys are all he owns. Her gentle kindness and the songs in his head are all his heart needs. He doesn’t want to ruin anything by fighting the bullies that approach him at the train station.
Blake doesn’t even get a chance before Livia puts herself between him and them. She’s not just sweet, she’s also brave.
Maybe that bravery would allow her to stay despite the glimpses of his broken soul? She could even maybe meet his foster brothers, long out of the system but still struggling with their pasts?
Blake is finally willing to risk it all to turn 446 smiles into one perfect kiss.
