Fleeting Haven

Est got pregnant.
The man who promised forever stopped answering.

On a Sunday morning in a small Bangkok church, Est signed his name beside a stranger's.

No flowers. No vows spoken out loud. Only trembling hands and a single sentence from the man he had just married:

"You don't have to look at me if it's easier."

William never asked for a husband.
He only owed a debt to the family that once saved him.

Now he has a husband who can't stop crying... and a child that isn't his.

Est still waits for a phone that never rings.
William only promised to stay until Est could breathe again on his own.

But some promises are harder to keep than others.
And some hearts break so quietly, you only hear them when it's already too late.
