She could understand his frenzy, his fury, his despair. \"That will do, Charles,\" she said very quietly. \"I will see what can be done about Mr. Clott, and whatever happens I will see that you are not harmed.... If you like, you can dine with Verschoyle and me tonight. You can come home with me now, while I dress.

5.0

Ethan grew up under the shadow of his father's indifference, constantly striving to prove himself in a family that prized success above all else. But his attempts were always overlooked in favor of his younger sister, who effortlessly won their father's attention with her academic accolades. Ethan's belief that achievement equals affection becomes his guiding force, pushing him to succeed and finally gain the love he's always longed for. Yet, when his father learns that Ethan is gay, everything changes. Unable to accept his son's identity, he sends Ethan to a strict Catholic university, hoping it will "cure" him. Across town, Nathan has spent his life battling different challenges. Raised by an alcoholic father after his mother left, Nathan was forced to grow up too soon, taking on adult responsibilities just to survive. When his father's debts pile up and threaten their future, Nathan uses his college savings to bail him out, sacrificing his dreams in the process. But fate steps in, and Nathan receives a scholarship to the same Catholic university where Ethan is now studying. A twist of destiny brings them together as roommates. Despite their contrasting backgrounds and the weight of their pasts, an unexpected bond begins to grow. What started as mere circumstance soon transforms into something more profound. As they navigate friendship, love, and the expectations of those around them, they'll discover the courage to be true to themselves-and to each other.
