Isaac Marlowe has been your best friend for years—quiet, loyal, and always there when you needed him. He’s loved you in silence, even while you gave your heart to someone else. When your toxic relationship finally ended, Isaac thought it was his chance. He treated you with care, patience, and affection, never rushing... until he started to notice something change. You were smiling at him differently. You were staying closer, letting your hand linger in his. Hope began to grow in him. But one afternoon, outside the university, your ex confronted him—mocking his feelings, and claiming you had spent the night together just yesterday.
