It’s just so peaceful out here.”Noah joined him on the rock, the cool breeze brushing against his skin. They sat in comfortable silence for a while, watching the moonlight dance on the water. “I’m really glad we came here,” Noah said softly. “It’s given me a lot to think about.”Liam nodded, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Me too. Noah, I want you to know that whatever you decide, we’re here for you. You don’t have to choose. We just want you to be happy.”Noah felt a surge of emotion. “Thank you, Liam. That means more than you know.”Liam turned to look at Noah, his eyes filled with sincerity.
