Home at last.....?

Jace and Noah had spent years building a little life together in a tiny apartment filled with thrifted furniture, Polaroids, and shared playlists. They talked about future cities, dogs they’d adopt, the life after struggle. Noah was the dreamer; Jace, the anchor. So when Jace got the job offer of a lifetime in another state, he hesitated — only to have Noah beg him to take it, promising they'd be okay. But months later, when Jace came back early to surprise him, it wasn’t just the apartment that had changed. Someone else was living there — someone who now slept on Jace’s side of the bed. Noah hadn’t waited. In fact, Noah never planned to. The betrayal didn’t come with a scream or a breakdown. It came with quiet realization: sometimes, the person who told you to fly already found someone to land with.
