Troy: Oscar left six years ago. I built a life here anyway. A clinic that needs me, a base that feels like home. I'm fine. Then he walks in with battle scars on his skin and that same look on his face. He still won't choose me. But he kisses me anyway. I tell him he can't keep coming back like this. My heart can't take it. Oscar: Being closeted was never about shame. It's about safety. It's how I stayed alive before the army gave me a uniform, and it's the habit I can't shake after. An IED took my arm. Left me with a limp. Six months of surgeries before Fort Dale. Coming back is supposed to be simple. Keep my head down. Leave Troy alone. Troy doesn't let me hide behind excuses. Not about us. Not about the injuries. "There's nothing about you that I don't want, Oscar." I watch him walk away and understand what my fear has cost me. A second-chance M/M military romance set at Fort Dale. Closeted coming-out, amputee MC, hard-won HEA. Standalone. No cliffhangers.
