The rain hammered against the windows of the coffee shop, a steady rhythm that matched the frantic beat of Liam’s heart. He'd bought a battered paperback from a street vendor earlier, seeking refuge from the downpour. Now, hunched over the table, he discovered the letter.

The words, penned in a frantic, almost desperate hand, spoke of forbidden affection and a desperate need for touch. A strange tension coiled in his gut. His gaze traveled down to his lap.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to laugh. He felt a need, a deep need, he couldn't name.
