In Kismet Harbor, they’re known for being the one people used to warn you about—the troublemaker with a record and a temper—but these days, there’s a noticeable shift: he shows up, keeps his head down, and does what needs to be done, even if no one quite trusts it to last.
Life Now: Married to Courtney, building a steady life after years of instability. Focused on staying out of trouble, repairing family relationships, and proving—mostly to himself—that he can maintain something good without sabotaging it. Home Base: Cresthill Meadows, Kismet Harbor—a home that's new to them and gives Cohen the dream life he wants for his family. What They Do: Details cars while learning how to fix them. Does some small maintenance things for people around town. Their World: His wife, Courtney Blake (m. 2014), his daughter, Clara James (2025), and rebuilding his relationships with his brothers. Where You’ll Find Them: Kismet Harbor Beach has become one of his favorite places to be as a family as it's one of the few places that keeps Clara happy, though if they can't make it to the beach, they try to go to Kismet Harbor Park to get some fresh air in, Seymour on a leash walking with them. He meets up with friends sometimes at Galaxy Cinemas or will go into the deep parts of The Hiking Trails to smoke in hopes he doesn't get caught. And on Wednesdays, you may catch him in the pick up line at Dough Depot participating in half off wings and their favorite pizza. Community: Compassionate Friends · Dear Beloved · Dungeons & Dragons · Hands on Kismet Harbor · Lake Legion · Parchment Ponderers · Shop Class What People Don’t See: How close he still feels to slipping back into old habits—the way anger and grief sit just under the surface, and how much effort it takes every day to choose restraint instead of self-destruction. Their Anchor: Courtney—the one constant he’s never let go of—and the idea of family, not as something he was born into, but something he’s choosing to fight for and keep intact.
