He’s not house-hunting. He’s sneaking into empty homes with Marcus every weekend—fake names, real sex, and the illusion of a life he’ll never choose. Meanwhile, the boyfriend he’s ghosting still loves him… and knows something’s wrong. When the lies collapse, he has to face the truth every adult eventually runs into: sometimes you chase the thrill, sometimes you choose the person who makes you feel safe...and sometimes you have to grow up enough to know the difference. A raw, intimate story about emotional cheating, bad decisions, and the terrifying clarity of finally choosing what, and who, matters. Read Preview

Gorgeous!

Loved this short story. It captures the angst of being avoidant, and in trying to work out what you really want. So pleased with the ending ❤️

The house-viewing setup is genius ✨

This story is messy in the most honest human way...emotional cheating, bad decisions, wanting the thrill and the safety at the same time. It really feels true to how real relationships fall apart and (sometimes) come back together. Loved it.
