Embers Between Us (A Short BxB Story)

When sixteen-year-old Eric loses his home in a devastating fire, the last thing he wants is attention... especially from Matthew, a too-kind, too-charming neighbor. But Matthew was there the night the flames took everything, and he can't forget the way Eric looked standing in the smoke.

Thrust together by circumstance and kept close by something neither of them can name, the two boys navigate grief, guilt, and the slow-burning spark of something more.
