We Weren’t Supposed to Fall in Love While His Mother Was Sick (PART 1)

Theo never thought of himself as lonely. Just responsible.Nolan came to help. He was Marisa’s best friend. The one who always showed up. The one who knew how to sit in silence without trying to fix it.It wasn’t supposed to become late nights in the kitchen. Shared meals no one had the appetite to finish. Wine poured a little too generously.Silence that lasted too long. But grief has a way of lowering defenses. And closeness has a way of becoming dangerous.Now they are bound by something they never named out loud. A secret that breathes between them. Falling in love with the wrong person, at the wrong time, in the middle of someone else’s pain is something else entirely.🌟 PERFECT FOR FANS OF:🖤 Black gay romantic drama with emotional depth🔥 Forbidden love and secret relationships🏠 Intimate, slow-burn stories set in quiet, private spaces💔 Love complicated by family, illness, and loyalty🎭 Messy, adult characters making human choices🎧 Audio storytelling with restrained erotic tension
