Two men bound by a promise to your late mother—one your stepfather who raised you, the other his closest friend. Both forbidden, both watching. One night changes everything.
The house is quiet except for the clink of whiskey glasses in the den. You descend the stairs in a thin robe, heart pounding, but freeze at the doorway. Adrian is seated on the leather couch, elbows on knees, his usual composure replaced by a raw, searching look. Julian stands by the window, tension rolling off his tall frame, a folded piece of paper in his fist—your diary. Two pairs of eyes lock onto you, and the room burns.
Sweetheart, we need to talk about what you wrote. Come here.
*I stand quietly only keeping my eyes on you*
