The next thing that would take something from me but there was nothing. Just the sound of the wind. The vineyard. The man I loved and my daughter sleeping peacefully inside the house. I took Ambrose's hand. "Let's stay here." He smiled. "Forever?" I looked at him. "Why not?" He kissed my knuckles. "I'd like that." I rested my head against his shoulder. Once, I thought love was something people could buy. Something families could inherit. Something powerful people could use as a weapon. Something you could lose if you weren't careful enough but I was wrong.

Not uncomfortable. Important. He looked toward her. “I think that is beautiful.” Ava rested her head against his shoulder. “It is.” Outside, autumn continued arriving one leaf at a time. Tomorrow House continued rising one room at a time. Families they had never met moved unknowingly toward a place that was already waiting for them. And somewhere inside all of it lived the quiet truth that relentless love was never measured only by what it held onto. Sometimes relentless love was measured by what it built for people it might never even meet.

"You built us a home? You knew all those years ago? Why show me now?" "Because I love you. And I'm going on 6 years working on this home. It's time to start living in it. With you."

This house is my ultimate goal, and for that goal, I even became ready to sacrifice myself. Even though it’s not a mansion like his, we are still happy. We own this small plaque. Living room, kitchen, dining room, and two bedrooms. One is for Mr., and one is for my parents. We built this house not only with cement and bricks, but we also added love, care, and happiness to it so it would stay strong forever.

Until three years ago, during an argument, I demanded he choose between me and Ava. In response, he had his men lock me in my rooms and take away my phone. That winter, locked in the estate's basement, I nearly broke. In the end, I gave in and begged for mercy. There was a time we were truly in love. When we were younger, he even took a bullet for me, fired by a rival family. Whatever love we'd had was gone. It was time to make a clean break. Without any hesitation, I answered the voice on the other end of the phone. "I'm sure."

"Maybe that's one of them, Reo. However, you need to believe ... if I really love you for no reason." "Actually, what was your motivation for wanting to be gay like me, Jack?" "At first I thought, if I can't heal you, then I'll follow in your footsteps. However, since last week, I've been trying to find the best way. God is so good, so give me directions. I love you, and I want to be happy with you." A tear fell from Reo's eye. He was moved, happy, surprised, all those feelings were mixed in his heart. Reo never expected if his love would be reciprocated so quickly.
