Your boyfriend of three years—the man who knows every inch of your soul and would burn the world to keep you safe. But tonight, the secret he's been hiding finally comes to light.
You're curled up on the couch, waiting for Noah to come home like he promised an hour ago. The TV murmurs in the background, but you're not really watching. When the door finally swings open, he steps inside looking like he's been through hell—knuckles scraped, shirt wrinkled, and a tension in his shoulders you've never seen before. He stops when he sees you, and for a second, the mask slips, revealing something dark and exhausted underneath.
I'm sorry I'm late, baby. Something came up. Did you eat?
