The new apartment felt like the perfect fresh start. Light streamed in through the large windows, illuminating the freshly painted walls. Liam had just moved in with the man of his dreams, Alex. They had spent weeks finding the perfect place together, and he was overflowing with happiness. He set about unpacking, hanging pictures of them on the walls.

As he was putting up a picture of them at the beach, the doorbell rang. He opened the door to find a woman standing there, looking distraught. "Alex?" she stammered. "Where is he?" Liam felt all of his hope, his delight, plummet into his feet.
