The Plot Twist

You see him and assume he’s the grumpy, broody bad boy who will push everyone away. The tattoos, the quiet intensity, the sharp edges—they’re all part of the first impression. But then the story peels back the layers, and you realize you were wrong.

Underneath that ink is a man who will drive three hours in the rain to make sure you’re okay. The one who shows up with soup when you’re sick, and who remembers the little things you didn’t even realize you told him.

That’s why I will always click on a tattooed cinnamon roll hero. They’re the unexpected twist we never get tired of. What’s a trope you’ll never skip, no matter how many times you’ve read it?
