Summary
Hope had always been the life-of-the-party type. After moving across the country, she took up dancing to make ends meet — supporting herself while still helping her family back home. Somewhere along the way, the late nights and fast money pulled her deeper than she ever meant to fall.
What started as survival slowly became her entire world. The attention, the haze of bad habits, the glittering chaos of club life — it wrapped around her so tightly she didn’t notice herself losing pieces of herself inside it. For a while, she convinced herself it was enough… until one random Friday night led her into a tattoo shop — and straight into Josie.

Josie had always been an artist.
From the moment she could hold a pencil, she’d been sketching — chasing the quiet satisfaction of turning imagination into something permanent. Tattooing felt like destiny when she made it her career, and now, with a thriving shop and the independence she’d fought for, her life felt steady… complete.
Then Hope Mikaelson walked in, all neon light and temptation, and suddenly Josie’s carefully ordered world didn’t feel quite so untouchable anymore.
