He's trapped in silence. She hides behind hers. Together, they just might find their voice.
Christopher has spent most of his life invisible-ever since the trauma that stole his ability to speak. Now in college, he slips through the world like a ghost, avoiding attention, connection, and most of all... people.
Until she shows up.
Maeve is the girl with the reputation-loud, reckless, and impossible to ignore. But behind the rumors is a past she never talks about, and a heart that's desperate to prove she's more than her mistakes.
When Christopher is forced to ask for help on a class project, Maeve agrees... under one condition: he has to let her in.
Late-night study sessions. Shared secrets. Stolen glances. As their worlds collide, so do their walls-and what starts in silence grows into something neither of them expected.
But healing is messy. Trust is fragile. And sometimes, love shows up when you're least ready for it.
