Kiomie Hart had always believed that love should be loud, undeniable, and overwhelming. But life had a strange way of surprising her. Despite her beliefs, it was the silent, unnoticed moments that seemed to linger—those quiet glances, brief encounters, and wordless smiles exchanged with Theo Sebastian Adler, a boy who had become a constant but distant presence in her life.
Theo was an enigma, a quiet force that seemed to drift in and out of her world without causing a ripple. He was well-known at school, not for his charm or humor, but for his silence and the strange way he always seemed to be watching—not in a creepy way, but in a way that made Kiomie feel like there was something more to him. Something deeper.
Everyone saw Theo as a mystery to be solved, but to Kiomie, he was just Theo—someone she could never quite figure out, someone whose silence spoke volumes. And yet, despite their unspoken connection, she could never bring herself to speak first.
For years, they existed in this delicate balance, with Kiomie casting secret glances and Theo offering quiet reassurances with a nod or a small smile. To everyone else, it seemed like they were two strangers passing through life. But Kiomie knew better. Or at least, she thought she did.
Because behind those quiet gestures, behind Theo's seemingly indifferent gaze, lay a truth Kiomie had never considered. A truth that would change everything—their past, their present, and everything they thought they knew about affection and the silence that wrapped around it.
But by the time Kiomie discovered that truth, it would already be too late. Or so she thought.
