Our love to hide chapter 56-No Longer Afraid
It started with a whisper.A few shares. A handful of comments. A couple hundred views.Then, within hours, the dam broke.By morning, Ethan’s face was everywhere.His voice trembling but clear echoed across screens, timelines, and hearts. Not as a scandal. Not as a cautionary tale. But as something deeper. Braver.A man reclaiming his truth.Ethan sat curled up on the couch, a blanket around his shoulders, scrolling through the storm he’d just unleashed. “I’ve never cried over a stranger’s love before. This is what honesty looks like.”“He said what so many of us are too scared to admit. God, I wish I had his courage.”“To Ethan Hale, thank you for not erasing yourself to make others comfortable.”His post was trending under #StillILoveYou.Vanessa sat across from him, mouth half-open as she read her own feed. “This is... massive. You’ve hit three million views in less than twelve hours.”Ethan blinked. “What?”“Buzzfeed reposted it. So did Out Magazine. And GLAAD. A bunch of celebr
Our love to hide chapter 55-letter from the edge
Chapter 55 – Letters from the EdgeNathan didn’t sleep.The house was still, but his mind raced. Every echo in the hallway sounded like a memory.He sat in the living room, staring at the wedding photo on the shelf. Ethan’s smile looked different now, full of hope, before the fractures. Before the weight of public scrutiny made love feel like a liability.He rubbed his eyes. Guilt chewed through his gut like rust on steel.Was Ethan right?Had he ruined his life?He was putting away laundry when he noticed the guest room door slightly ajar. A soft glow spilled out Ethan’s old laptop humming faintly atop a stack of notebooks.Nathan frowned.He stepped inside, careful not to disturb the fragile silence, and sat beside it. The screen showed a folder already open: “Private Letters.”Nathan hesitated.Then clicked.The first one opened in a simple text document. No formatting. No filters. “Dear Nathan. Today I heard Vanessa crying in the bathroom. I didn’t ask why. I knew. It’s because
Our love to hide chapter 54- smoke in the Glass
Ethan stared at the email on his screen, the words blurring together like steam on glass.“In light of recent developments, we believe it is in everyone’s best interest to place you on indefinite leave while we reassess public impact.”His fingers hovered uselessly above the keyboard. His heart didn’t race, it sank. Quietly. Like something dropping into deep water.He didn’t even hear Nathan walk in.“Coffee?” Nathan asked, holding out a mug like a peace offering. He looked unsure, like he’d been debating whether to come in at all.Ethan took it automatically, eyes still locked on the screen. “I’ve been suspended.”Nathan’s hand froze midair. “What?”“My job,” Ethan said numbly. “PR nightmare, they called it. Not officially. But that’s what this is.”Nathan moved closer, lips parting like he was about to say something comforting but no words came.Ethan’s laugh was sharp, humorless. “They couched it all nicely. Said it’s not personal. Just... optics.”Nathan set his own mug down on th
Our love to hide chapter 53- shadows of the past
The morning after Ethan’s outburst passed like a ghost through their apartment. Nathan moved quietly in the kitchen, preparing coffee, while Ethan sat at the edge of the bed, fingers digging into his knees. The air between them had shifted heavier, like a door had been opened to a room neither of them wanted to enter.“I didn’t mean to accuse you,” Ethan said at last, voice raw.“I know,” Nathan replied, bringing him a steaming mug. “But it still hurts.”They sat in silence. The bitter coffee was grounding, anchoring them to the moment. Outside, the city buzzed as always, oblivious to the emotional landslide brewing within their walls.Nathan glanced at his phone and sighed. “There’s someone I think you should meet.”Ethan’s brow furrowed. “Now?”“Her name is Claire Monette. She was my first real relationship. I was nineteen. It… ended badly.”“You want me to meet your ex?”Nathan shook his head. “She reached out. Said someone’s been asking questions about me. Digging into our past.”
Our love to hide chapter 52- The fault line
The sunlight over Florida was warmer than Ethan remembered. He lay on a linen lounger outside the beach house, sketchbook balanced on his lap, fingers tracing shapes he couldn’t quite define. Waves lapped the shore beyond the glass fence, and inside, Nathan’s voice carried faintly from the open doors as he finished a video call. They had returned from their honeymoon a week ago. The beach house, a wedding gift from Vanessa and Sarah, was perfectly secluded, coastal, filled with soft light and clean, peaceful silence. But beneath the stillness, Ethan could feel the shift. Not in their love, but in the world beyond it. And maybe, in himself. Nathan stepped outside, barefoot, tie loose around his neck. He held two mugs of coffee and set one beside Ethan. “Still drawing the ocean?” Ethan looked down at the half-finished sketch: not water, but a crumbling cliff. “No,” he muttered, closing the book. Nathan tilted his head, then sat beside him. “Talk to me.” Ethan took a breath.
Our love to hide chapter 51- strangers Again
The flight home was quieter than either of them expected. No celebratory champagne. No whispered jokes or stolen kisses in the dark of the plane cabin. Just the occasional glance, a hand brushing a forearm, eyes locking for a moment too long, then slipping away again.Ethan stared out the window, watching clouds blur beneath them. Nathan sat beside him, reading a book he hadn't turned a page of in twenty minutes. Their wedding in Florida had been everything they'd hoped: intimate, warm, imperfectly perfect. But as they flew back into their real lives, the weight of the world seemed to climb back onto their shoulders, molecule by molecule.Back in Philadelphia, the city welcomed them with gray skies and cool wind. Their apartment, once a safe haven, felt stiff and unfamiliar. Boxes from the wedding still sat unpacked. Messages blinked unread on both their phones. Emails piled up like snowdrifts.Ethan sighed, toeing off his shoes. "Feels like we were gone for more than a week.""It f
