According to Cora

The biggest loss to a survivor is their ability to trust their own judgement.

When Cora escaped her abuser, she knew if he found her, he'd kill her. Just as she ran out of funds, courage, food, and strength, she spotted a remote cabin in the woods. It felt like the perfect hide-away to pull herself together and figure out what to do next. She just doesn't expect a grumpy giant to show up claiming the place as his own. When he huffed and rumbled out an offer for her to stay, she had to decide:

Take a chance, trust her gut, and risk a new abuser, or continue to run for her life.

Mac just wanted time and space to figure himself out after years of following military orders. Sharing his tiny retreat with a cowering woman was not part of his plan, but he couldn't just kick her out. He might suffer from a perpetually bad mood, but he's not a complete jerk. Then Cora's past came knocking at their door, and Mac began to spiral back into the fury he'd worked so hard to escape.
