Stay
Book Two in the Blackmere Series
Grief doesn’t break you all at once.
It settles in. Quiet. Permanent.
Alex has always been in control—of himself, of everyone around him, of the chaos no one else knows how to handle. But control doesn’t mean anything when there''s nothing left to fix.
Lee feels everything. Too much. Too deeply. And when the foundation beneath them begins to crack, he’s the one left trying to hold it together.
Loss changes things. It fractures trust. It reshapes loyalty. It leaves behind something neither of them knows how to survive.
Because staying isn’t simple.
It isn’t safe.
And it isn’t soft.
It’s choosing someone even when it hurts.
Even when it breaks you.
Even when you don’t recognize what you’ve become.
And sometimes…
staying costs more than leaving ever would.
