    Summary

    Charlie knew Babe didn’t cheat.
    That wasn’t what broke him.
    It was the lying. The careful omissions wrapped in good intentions.
    It was watching Babe walk too close to danger, thinking Charlie wouldn’t notice.

    But Charlie noticed everything.
    Even while juggling chaos—researching a cure for the power that made them targets, worrying about his brother, racing to keep their place on the track—he still made sure Babe had dinner on the table. Clean sheets. Gentle touches at night.

    But when old ghosts return—obsessed, dangerous, and hungry for what was once his—Charlie will have to choose:
    Lose everything again, or become the very weapon he tried to destroy.

    Nothing was quite the same after that.
    Between leaving and losing.
