We Had an Agreement

Fourteen years ago, Nate Gilbert and Mateo Reyes bought a building together, nearly fell in love, and stopped speaking about anything that mattered.

Now Nate wants to sell.

Mateo can’t afford to buy him out without risking everything he’s rebuilt.

And a structural problem at the property has forced them back into the same rooms, the same arguments, and the same dangerous familiarity they once shared.

They had an agreement.

The problem is, neither of them ever said what they actually wanted.
