Our love to hide chapter 74 Isabella choice
The rain came in soft drizzles that morning, tracing silver rivulets down the glass walls of the hospital atrium where Isabelle sat, fingers trembling around a lukewarm paper cup of coffee. The silence around her was too clean, too sterile, broken only by the occasional intercom call and distant rolling of gurney wheels. She hated hospitals. The last time she was in one, her mother had died. Now, she sat again in another antiseptic hall, this time for a different kind of reckoning.Sarah hadn't spoken to her since the interview.Lucas had moved back to Texas.And Vanessa who had once clung to her with broken sobs had cut her off completely.Isabelle had never known this kind of silence before.She took a breath, steadying her hands as she pulled out her phone. The screen glowed with a message from Ethan. A simple one: "If you're ready, come. You deserve your own ending, too."She stared at it for a long time.Ethan had every right to hate her. They all did. Her silence, her cowardice
Our love to hide chapter 73 -The spark Remains
The Hearth looked smaller than Ethan remembered.Five years had passed since he and Nathan had last stepped through the wide front doors not for a visit, not for a tour, but simply… to return. Not as leaders. Not as guardians.But as guests.Autumn leaves scattered across the porch, the same creaky step still groaning in protest beneath their shoes. The wind carried the scent of lavender, paint, and something sweet from the kitchen, maybe cinnamon bread.And yet, beneath it all…The house breathed the same way it always had.Alive. Listening.Inside, voices echoed through the walls.Laughter. Music. A slam of a cabinet. A playful shout.Then footsteps.Evan appeared in the hallway, taller, sharper around the edges, but with the same steady light in his eyes. His hoodie was too big, sleeves fraying at the cuffs, clipboard tucked beneath one arm.“Hey,” he said, trying not to smile too hard. “You’re late.”Nathan chuckled. “Traffic. And sentimentality.”Evan rolled his eyes, but his voi
Our love to hide 72- the quiet Revolution
It started with rain.Not the soft kind.The flood-the-garden, tear-the-branches-down kind.Nathan was the first to notice the leak just past midnight, water trailing down the hallway wall like tears.Ethan ran for buckets.Vanessa grabbed towels.And Evan?He stood in the middle of the living room, arms crossed, watching the ceiling swell.By morning, the leak had turned into a minor cave-in in the guest bathroom.No one was hurt. But the damage was obvious.The city inspector arrived with a clipboard and a polite but firm frown.“I’m afraid if the repairs aren’t addressed in sixty days, the house could be deemed structurally unfit for occupancy.”Nathan barely blinked.Ethan stood straighter.Vanessa folded her arms. “You tried to shut us down before. Didn’t work then either.”The man didn’t argue. Just handed over a checklist.That afternoon, Ethan gathered at the house.Kitchen table. Big energy.“The roof’s failing. The city’s watching. But we’ve survived worse.”He looked around
Our love to hide chapter 71-And yet we Begin
Six months later.Autumn came in golden, brushing the trees outside The Hearth in deep ambers and soft fire.The house was full again.Different kids. New names. New pain.But the warmth hadn’t faded.It never did.The boy who’d arrived the night Micah and J left his name was Evan had a habit of standing on the porch every morning at sunrise.He didn’t speak much.But he always looked east. Always searching.One day, Ethan joined him.“You waiting for something?” he asked.Evan shrugged. “Not sure.”Ethan sipped his coffee. “Sun rises either way.”Evan glanced up, then back down. “Yeah. But it helps when someone sees it with you.”Ethan smiled.The Hearth’s name had started to travel.Articles. Blog posts. A documentary team had visited once.Not because Ethan or Nathan craved recognition but because stories spread, and the ones worth remembering always find their way forward.One former resident sent a postcard every month from wherever he was couch-surfing in Europe.Another called
Our love to hide 70-Gods of our own making
The rally was over. The headlines had faded.But something had changed.Not just in the city.In the house.In the boys.Micah sat in the quiet of the shelter’s library once a storage room, now lined with rainbow spines and soft beanbags. He stared at the copy of The Little Prince, well-worn, dog-eared, the one Ethan used to read to him on panic-spiral knights.He read the same line over and over.“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”He closed the book.He wasn’t a tamed thing anymore. He was the tamer now.J had started teaching a free art class at the shelter every Friday.Kids who barely spoke would sit for hours, sketching monsters with soft eyes or superheroes with scars. J said nothing. He just drew beside them, passing them his colors, letting silence become language.One of the youngest kids Kai climbed onto his lap one day without a word. Just curled up like J was furniture. Safe furniture.And J froze. Then melted.That night, he didn’t sleep.He just
Our love to hide 69-Becoming the fire
Three years later.The house was still standing.The Hearth had grown three new staff members, a second floor remodeled into a library and therapy room, a reputation across the state as the place for LGBTQ+ youth to land safely when the world turned sharp.But peace is never permanent.Not in this world.Micah was seventeen now.Taller. Quieter. A little sarcastic, a little soft especially when talking to younger residents.He stood in the back hallway, staring at a wall of photographs, dozens of them, added over the years. Smiling kids. Graduation caps. A blurry photo of Nathan asleep with a toddler curled on his chest.Micah stared at his own photo. Age fifteen. Angry. Still healing.He muttered to himself, “I don’t know that guy anymore.”J walked up behind him, now in community college, his red-dyed hair now black and cropped short.“You miss him?” J asked.Micah shrugged. “Sometimes I wish I could warn him.”“Maybe he didn’t need a warning. Just a door.”Micah nodded. “We got tha
