Long Shadow

Niall has lived a life marked by disappointment and mistrust, his heart guarded against the world. Betrayal is a language he knows all too well, making it nearly impossible for him to let anyone in. Mat, however, is determined to change that narrative. With genuine affection and a determination to prove his worth, Mat sets out to break down Niall's walls, showing him that love can be a safe haven rather than a threat.

As their connection deepens, they both grapple with their pasts, questioning whether love can truly conquer all. Will Niall find the courage to open his heart and embrace the hope that Mat offers, or will his fears keep him locked in the shadows of his painful history? Each moment spent together brings them closer to a decision that could change everything.
