Grey Cadell wasn't always mute, until that one night that left him permanently scarred. But, that all changed when he met Olyimpia Monroe, his new next door neighbour.

"He's going to kill you when he realises," Victoria says as she looks at her sleeping son whilst I tighten the two braids in his hair.
"He wouldn't dare, who is going to put face masks on his face every other day?"
Victoria, Ezra and Grey came over this morning like they do every Sunday.
Victoria and Ezra have become quite close with my parents over the past few weeks.
"He looks so cute," My mum says as she sits down next to my dad with two cups of tea in her hand.
Athena lays her head on Grey as he sleeps peacefully.
"Did Nicky go out this mor-"
A knock interrupts me.
"I'll go get it," I walk towards the door. It's probably one of my parcels.
When I open the door, my smile drops, "Ugh it's you,"
Before he could answer I shut the door.
"Who was it?" My dad questions.
"Some charity worker,"
"Why would you slam the door?" My dad stands up and walks to the door.
I sit down next to Grey who is still asleep.
"Charlie!" My dad shouts in his thick Greek accent happily.
"I missed you," My uncle shouts back.
Everyone loves my Uncle Charlie, but I find him very irritable.
My dad has 6 siblings, him being the oldest and Uncle Charlie being the second oldest.
My γιαγιά and παππούς adopted him when she was told she could no longer conceive but then continued to pop out 4 more sons in the process. (grandma and grandad)
The youngest is Uncle Achilles who is 22, 5 years older than me.
I look over to my mum who just shakes her head.
I roll my eyes and lean my head on Grey's shoulder before putting his arm over me.
Grey stirs a bit before pulling me closer.
Ezra smirks at me.
My dad and Uncle walk into the living room, "Charity worker, seriously?" Charlie says in his thick Greek accent.
"Yep."
"Where is my favourite nephew?" My uncle looks around, looking for Nicky.
"He's at the skatepark," My dad says before sitting next to my mum and pulling her legs so they rest on his legs.
"This is Victoria and Ezra Cadell," My dad says before turning to me, "And next to Olyimpia, is Grey Cadell."
Charlie walks to Victoria and Ezra and shakes both of their hands before sitting on the sofa to the side of me.
