!![TW: Depression, Suicide and Metal health awareness]!!
"He was sunshine. I was the shadow he loved to chase."
Ivy Hale didn't need saving. She had her books, her routines, her silence-until Theo Grayson, the human embodiment of a golden retriever, decided she was his new favorite project. With his obnoxious laugh and relentless optimism, he bulldozed into her quiet world like a hurricane in a smiley-face T-shirt.
She resisted.
He persisted.
And against her better judgment, Ivy learned to tolerate his chaos-the late-night texts, the stolen fries, the way he remembered things about her even she'd forgotten.
Then, the unthinkable: Theo was gone.
"Suicide," they said.
But the boy who lit up every room wouldn't just... disappear. Would he?
Now, Ivy's sharp mind-the same one Theo called "scary-smart"-is piecing together the truth.
Because if there's one thing introverts excel at, it's observing. And Ivy refuses to let the world remember Theo wrong.
A story about the quiet girl who noticed everything-except the one thing that mattered.
