Hot Messes, Heartbeats, and One Very Intimate Vince

Dear Readers,

First of all—thank you. Thank you for riding shotgun on Andrea’s rollercoaster: from heartbreak to healing, from running away to running toward love—and all the glorious mess in between. She found her home in Doc’s arms, and somehow, we found a little bit of ourselves along the way. I am Andrea and Andrea is me.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the feed: yes, I did upload 78 posts in 24 hours. Was it chaos? Yes. Was it genius? Also yes. Was there caffeine involved? Oh, absolutely. But every scene, every twist, every gasp-worthy moment came straight from me—raw, real, and unfiltered (well… a little filtered—thanks, AI, for cleaning up my creative tornado).

While Andrea’s story is fiction, don’t get it twisted, the emotion behind it is real. “Doc” is based on someone I’ve known, a former orthopedic physician of mine who helped me heal after my car accidents in 2017 and 2018. No, we never dated. No, we’ve never been physical. But the strength and quiet presence he brought into my life? That stuck. And it shaped a character I’ve come to love and respect, deeply.

“Marco”? That’s my brother in character drag. “Kay” and “Roberto” are basically real-life royalty—my best friend and her incredible husband, who is honestly one of the kindest, smartest, most honorable men to walk this earth. Yes, he’s real. No, you can’t have him.

“Joe” is another ode to my brother—protective, stubborn, and absolutely the kind of man who would throw hands for me without asking questions. And “Samantha,” aka “Delaney”? She’s my sister in all but name—loyal, wise, very exhausting, and 100% the type to hug you and yell at you in the same breath.

The rest of the characters? They’re stitched together from real moments, real people, and real chaos. Some from quick conversations, some from strangers who unknowingly donated their vibe to my imagination.

So, from the deepest corner of my sassy little heart—thank you. For reading, for feeling, for laughing, for crying, and yes, for yelling at your screen (you weren’t alone, I was yelling while writing some of it). This world means something to me because it means something to you.

Now, I’m off to give this romantically overheated brain a break. I’ll be laying low for a few days, soaking in some self-care, deep breaths, and a little time with Vince. Yes, that Vince—the one who inspired some of those steamy Doc-and-Andrea moments you definitely weren’t skimming. Things between us? Let’s just say… it’s complicated, it’s intimate, and it’s very, very real.

Stay tuned. Stay curious. Stay wild.

With love, grit, and just a little too much attitude,
DeppGrl
