When a ghost from my past walks back into my life, I jump at the chance to reconnect. My husband, Clark, and I are polyam, but for us that has never meant finding a third to join our happily ever after.
We weren't looking for a triad. It wasn't what either of us wanted. Until Ethan. My estranged childhood best friend walked out of my life ten years ago when his family rejected him for being trans. Having him back, it feels like he never left.
Now, I want everything with the man I promised forever and the first boy I ever loved. Too bad the timing isn't ideal. Clark and I are both struggling with work stress and it's taking a toll on my mental health.
Ethan might be everything neither of us knew we were looking for, but how can I convince Clark of that when I'm spiraling and all he sees is how badly losing Ethan the first time hurt my trust?
