The three of us

Hi, I'm Rous Smitt.

My whole life, I've been a "Christian." I attend youth services, participate in church activities... always smiling, always involved. But behind that smile lies a void that consumes me. A burden I hide every night when I drown in my own tears.

Everyone thinks I have the perfect life. But the truth is, being a Christian isn't always easy. Pretending I'm okay when I'm falling apart inside has become part of my daily routine.

And then, he appeared.

William Scott.

The perfect guy at college: brilliant, popular, reserved, untouchable. What is he doing sitting right next to me in class? Why does he speak to me with such honesty? Why, out of everyone, is he the one who can see what I keep hidden inside?

"Why do you pretend you're okay when you're not? Be yourself!"

he said, his expression cold, yet his eyes sincere; his voice rough, yet filled with truth.

Amid my questions, doubts, and wounds, I began an unexpected journey... one where true love isn't found only in a glance, but in the original design God created for me.
