The Moon and the Mustache

Deputy Charlie Swan thought he had everything figured out-his job, his quiet life in Forks, and his place in a town that rarely changed. But after pulling Billy Black from the water and saving his life, things don't feel so simple anymore.

Billy is young, guarded, and far too easy to admire, which makes no sense, because Charlie is straight... right? So why does he keep noticing the sharp cut of Billy's jaw, or feeling irrationally annoyed when the waitress smiles at him a little too long?

What started as an obligation-a simple check-in to make sure Billy was okay-turns into late-night conversations, a slow unraveling of truths, and something Charlie isn't sure he's ready to name. But in a town where whispers travel fast, and the past never stays buried, the lines between duty, friendship, and something far more complicated begin to blur.
