Chapter 10

Finn had made a promise with himself on the day he moved in. The happiness he felt when Ethan asked him to live with him was beyond words. It was a new life, and every day in it had been damn near close to perfect. To do his part, Finn had sworn to himself that he would keep Ethan happy at any cost.
