What ended us

When Sage's brother once said,

"That boy will get you in trouble one day"

The blonde boy had laughed. Now years later, those words keep seeming closer to the truth.

For eight years, Sage loved Kevin.

For ten years, Kevin loved Sage enough to ruin himself for him.

A criminal trying to escape a life that won't let him leave.

A medical worker who keeps choosing the same dangerous man over and over again.

Between threats, secrets, violence, and years of shared history, they build a future neither of them is sure they'll survive long enough to see.

Everyone says love is supposed to save you.

But some loves are too desperate.

Too consuming.

Too tragic.

And by the time they realize what's happening, they're already heading toward the same ending.
