Ballots and Bedtimes3

By Laura Carpenter

Some love stories don't arrive with fireworks. They arrive with rules, routines... and a kettle that never stops boiling.

When Niamh, director of Little Lights Community Centre, learns that a political debate is coming to her building, she's prepared for logistics, microphones, and polite chaos. What she isn't prepared for is Cillian O'Dálaigh - the decent man running for office... and the father of the daughter she's been protecting on her own.
Their reunion isn't dramatic. It's careful. Controlled. Deeply human.

Because between them stands Fiadh, a quiet-corner captain with laminated rules, a child who deserves safety more than spectacle. And when the press starts circling - shadows, silhouettes, hungry narratives - Niamh and Cillian must decide whether love can exist without becoming a headline... and whether family can be built without breaking anyone open.
Warm, Irish, fiercely moral and devastatingly tender, Ballots and Bedtimes is a story about boundaries, privacy, slow trust, and the kind of love that isn't loud...
...it's steady.
