**Chapter 215: Old Video**

Brooks

I sat on the edge of our bed with the laptop open, the video file paused on the screen. The thumbnail showed a younger version of me—eyes glassy, body tense—kneeling in that hotel room. The timestamp read fifteen years ago. The label was simple and devastating: *First Night – Sir.*

Callan walked into the bedroom and stopped when he saw my face.

“What is it?”

I turned the laptop toward him. He went very still.

“I found it while looking for anniversary photos,” I

    **Chapter 220: Frozen Submission**BrooksTen years after our vow renewal, the backyard rink in Chicago was still the heart of our world.The boards had been repainted twice. The lights upgraded. The ice bore the marks of countless skates — our children’s, our grandchildren’s, and the occasional visiting player who needed a quiet place to breathe. But the feeling remained the same: this was sacred ground. The place where pain had been transformed, over and over again, into something beautiful.I sat on the heated bench we’d installed years ago, a thick blanket over my lap. My right side still carried a slight tremor from the stroke, especially when the weather turned cold, but I had learned to live with it. To see it not as weakness, but as proof I was still here.Callan sat beside me, his cane resting against the bench. His arthritis had progressed, as the doctors warned it would, but he still came out here every chance he got. Silver hair now fully white, deeper lines on his face, b

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   vows Renewal

    **Chapter 219: Vow Renewal**BrooksThe backyard rink had never looked more beautiful.We had transformed our Chicago home into something between a sanctuary and a celebration. Strings of soft white lights crisscrossed overhead. White and deep blue flowers — Thunder colors mixed with wedding elegance — lined the boards. Chairs formed a semi-circle on the cleared ice, covered with protective flooring so guests could walk comfortably. At the center stood a simple arch woven with flowers and hockey sticks, a quiet nod to where our story had truly begun.Fifteen years.From a forced hotel room soaked in fear and chemicals to this: a public vow renewal surrounded by love, chosen and fought for.I stood in our bedroom in a tailored navy suit, staring at myself in the mirror. My right hand still trembled slightly when I was tired, a lingering reminder of the stroke, but today it was steady enough. Callan stepped up behind me, adjusting my tie with careful fingers despite his own swollen knuc

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   final Health scare

    **Chapter 218: Final Health Scare**BrooksThe hospital room smelled of antiseptic and fear.I had been here for nine days since the stroke. Nine days of beeping monitors, physical therapy sessions that left me exhausted and frustrated, and the constant, hovering presence of the man I loved watching me like I might disappear if he blinked.My right side was still weak. My speech occasionally slurred when I was tired. The doctors kept saying “mild stroke” and “excellent prognosis,” but when your body betrays you after everything you’ve already survived, the word “mild” feels like a cruel joke.Callan sat in the chair beside my bed, his bad shoulder braced against the backrest, hands resting on his cane. The arthritis had flared badly during the stress of my hospitalization. We were quite the pair—two battered warriors still refusing to leave the battlefield.“You’re staring again,” I said, my words only slightly thick.“Can’t help it.” His voice was rough. “I keep seeing you on the kit

    **Chapter 217: Legacy of Courage**BrooksThe weeks after Liam’s wedding were filled with a quiet kind of joy.Maya fit seamlessly into our family. She was warm, funny, and completely unfazed by the Callahan legacy—scandal, book, public platform, and all. Watching Liam build a life with her reminded me daily of how far we had come. From a forced beginning in a hotel room to this: our son happily married, our daughters thriving, our family whole.But the conversation with Walter at the reception lingered.His words echoed in my mind during quiet moments: *You paved the way.*Callan and I talked about it one evening on the backyard rink. The Chicago summer air was warm, the ice beneath our skates smooth and perfect. He moved more carefully now, his arthritis a constant companion, but he still found joy in skating with me.“We helped more people than we realized,” I said, gliding beside him. “Not just through the book. Through how we lived after.”Callan nodded. “Walter wasn’t the first.

    **Chapter 216: Wedding**BrooksLiam’s wedding day arrived on a perfect Chicago afternoon in early June.The venue was a beautiful lakeside pavilion—not too grand, not too small. Just right for our family. White flowers and soft blue accents decorated everything, echoing the Thunder colors Liam loved so much. Maya, his bride, had chosen simple elegance, and our son had only one request: both his dads would walk him down the aisle.I stood in front of the mirror in our hotel suite adjusting my tie for the third time. My hands were steadier than they had been in years, but nerves still fluttered in my chest. Callan stepped up behind me, his reflection joining mine. His arthritis made tying his own tie difficult some days, so I turned and did it for him.“You look handsome,” I said softly, smoothing his lapels.He caught my hands and kissed my knuckles. “We made it here. Our boy is getting married.”The emotion hit me hard. Fifteen years ago, we were fighting for survival in this same ci

He went very still.“I found it while looking for anniversary photos,” I said quietly. “I thought we destroyed everything. This must have been in an old backup folder.”Callan stared at the screen for a long moment. Then he sat down beside me, his bad shoulder brushing mine.“Do you want to watch it?” he asked.I thought about it. Really thought.Part of me wanted to delete it immediately. Burn the last ghost.But a bigger part—the part that had written *Full Circle*, that had mentored Marcus, that had stood beside Ellie as she came out—wanted closure.“Yes,” I said
