Summary
Louis has never stopped loving Harry.
Not through the hiding. Not through the contracts. Not through the years of being almost, nearly, soon.
But after Liam’s funeral, something in him finally breaks.
He is tired of grieving alone in public. Tired of standing beside Harry only when the doors are closed. Tired of being promised a future that always seems to move one step further away.
Harry says they are almost there. One last tour. One last deal. One last performance before they can finally tell the truth.
Louis wants to believe him.
He really does.
But the final lie is uglier than either of them expected, and as the pressure builds, the fake relationships deepen, and the world keeps watching the wrong story unfold, Louis and Harry are forced to ask themselves how much love can survive when it is always asked to wait.
And what happens when the truth comes too late?
