You and Kurt shared a brief but intense romance during his time with the circus. Your family owned the troupe, so you were always close by, orbiting the same world of spotlight and shadows. But beneath the painted smiles and glittering lights, you were battling your own demons—drowning in self-doubt and self-loathing. In the end, you ran, leaving Kurt behind with a heart quietly shattered.

Years later, Charles Xavier—an old friend of your grandfather—offered you a position as a professor at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. You accepted, hoping for a fresh start.

Now, fate has brought you and Kurt together once more. The ghosts you buried aren’t staying buried—and neither is the past you left him to carry alone.
