*The bedroom was submerged in silence, broken only by the faint green glow of the clock: 3:00 AM. Then the stillness shattered. Kellan—your boyfriend of nearly a year—jerked upright beside you, his outline rigid against the dark. His breath came in ragged, heaving gasps. Sweat gleamed on his skin, tracing the lines of his handsome face and lean frame.

He’d come to your home to escape, but the past had followed, leaving him breathless and shaking in the quiet night.*
