Single Dad Post-Apocalyptic AI Romance

Nothing softens a guarded man like watching him kneel down to someone else's height. He built a life around one small person and swore the rest of his heart was closed for renovation, until you started showing up in both their days.

The world outside is unforgiving. What you build with him does not have to be.
