Liam
Ari never really knew her roommate. Liam was impossible to ignore—tall, muscular, tattoos lining his arms, and always quiet. The kind of silence that made people uneasy. They had only spoken once. Still, one day, Ari trusted him enough to leave her 8-year-old brother, Ezekiel, in the apartment with him. That was her mistake. When she returned, everything was wrong. The apartment was wrecked—furniture overturned, the coffee table shattered, the TV completely broken. Dark stains marked the floor, and Liam stood in the middle of it all, tank top torn, breathing heavy. “Where’s Ezekiel?” she demanded. Liam said nothing. So she called the police. They took him away. And Ezekiel… was gone. Until hours later— He was found on the rooftop. Safe. Unharmed. And the truth hit harder than anything else: Liam hadn’t hurt him. He had protected him. Now he’s in a hospital bed. And Ari is the one standing at the door.
