GENERATION VIII
saoirse + nash
As a teenager, Saoirse ran away from home to pursue her love and passion (and incredible talent) for piano. Along the way, she met Nash, a traveling guitarist who lived in a small caravan that barely fit the both of them. While together (and still a teenager) Saoirse found out she was pregnant with a daughter. They both decided that giving her up for adoption would be the best thing for her, as they could never provide for her what she needed. Before giving her away, they named her Odette. The pressure of being a runaway and not being able to survive on her own got too much to take and Saoirse left Nash and went back home, to finish out school and eventually enter into an acclaimed pianist career. Through it all, she never once forgot about her first love, nor the daughter they gave up. After years apart, Saoirse was at a local coffee shop with her sisters when she heard a familiar voice singing a song on the guitar. Her heart knew, it was Nash and the two rekindled their romance to find that they had never stopped loving each other after all those years.
​
Saoirse’s sister Maylin moved in with her boyfriend Silas, a bad boy with a drinking problem and hatred for her twin brother Maddox. As Maddox’s protect, anywhere she went, he did too. Silas was always infuriated with the fact that Maylin would take Maddox’s side in any situation. The three of them lived together, and both Maylin and Silas welcomed two daughters Olive and Quinn before one night, when Silas’ rage couldn’t be contained any longer. He lunged at Maddox intending to kill him and Maylin on hearing this ran and got a gun and shot Silas in order to protect her brother. Panicked and desperate she called her aunt Elin, a police officer who came and told her to get Maddox to the hospital and she’d take care of everything. When the police came - including her husband Jace, Elin was already there and told the fabricated story of how she was called out on a domestic dispute and Silas came at her so in self defense, she shot him. Maylin and Maddox were safe and Elin took her secret to the grave.

After years and three girls later, Odette found Saoirse again at one of her concerts and reunited together after so much time between them. The family welcomed Odette with open arms but soon they found who had taken her heart, and their fear surfaced.
