On Hold!!!
Mateo arrives at the mansion like a ghost-unannounced, unexpected, and unsure if he belongs.
Six brothers he never knew. A family stitched together by secrets and silence. The house hums with history, but none of it includes him.
He watches. He listens. He vanishes.
But something-or someone-starts to pull him back. A voice that doesn't demand, a gaze that doesn't flinch. In the quiet corners of this strange new life, Mateo begins to feel the stirrings of something he's never known: connection, maybe even love.
Still, the walls whisper. The mirrors lie. And hunger-of every kind-has its own language.

What happens when Mateo comes home, and how will Cam ever face him again? ___ 'He looked mostly the same as last summer, older maybe, definitely more tanned. He'd grown his hair out a little longer, so it hung lower in his eyes now. I'd seen him post a picture with his hair like that a few months ago and decided to grow mine out too. I wonder when he looked at me, did he see me as I am now, or did he see me as I was then, that night?' ___ TW: sexual assaultComplete
