In which the rain-soaked streets of Grantham hold two people who learned too young how to disappear inside themselves. 𝐍𝐨𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐥 moves through the world as light itself-bright, effortless, the kind of girl who makes every room feel warmer. But the brightness is a careful performance, built to keep the darker things from being seen.𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐬 wears the opposite armour: silence, distance, a cold exterior that keeps everyone at arm's length. He carries a weight no one else is allowed to share. They once belonged to the same ordinary childhood world, close enough that the distance which later grew between them felt almost unnatural. When their paths cross again at Caldwell Preparatory School, something quiet and stubborn refuses to stay buried. He is the only one who looks past the smile she offers everyone else. She is the only one who reaches past the walls he has spent years reinforcing. What begins between them is not soft or simple. It is two people recognising the same kind of damage in each other-the kind that never asks to be named, only endured. In a place where appearances are currency and silence is safer than truth, they are left with the same impossible question: how do you stay when staying means being truly seen? Some love stories are not about being fixed. They are about finding the one person willing to stand in the rain with you.

Mae Rivers was sent to Brackenridge Academy to start over. To be quiet. To behave. To forget. But in a place where appearances matter more than truth, silence doesn't protect you. Especially not from someone like Ash Carter. He's everything she should stay away from - reckless, charming, and far too observant. He sees her when no one else does. And that might be the most dangerous thing of all. Because some stories aren't meant to be told. And some truths were never meant to stay buried.

In Ravenhill, silence is never empty - it is full of things no one knows how to say. Pearl Lowell has spent years learning how to exist in the aftermath of what shaped her too early. Once a child full of light, she has become a name spoken carefully, a story rewritten by people who were never there to understand it. Rhys Morgan has always believed in order, in control, in the certainty of things that can be measured and achieved. But some people do not fit into certainty. Some connections refuse to fade, even when everything else does. They were once part of the same world - close enough to believe it would stay that way. But growing up in Ravenhill means learning that distance can happen quietly, and that not everything lost is ever truly gone. When their paths cross again, nothing returns as it was. Only fragments remain - of memory, of misunderstanding, of everything left unsaid between them. And in a place where perception travels faster than truth, they are left with one question that neither of them is ready to answer: how do you understand someone you were never truly allowed to know? Some stories are not about what happened but about what was never said.

Eden Riorson and Miles Morales have been best friends since they were six. Loving each other has always been simple - safe, familiar, the kind of love that lives quietly in the space between two people who know each other better than anyone else does. But feelings have a way of outgrowing the boxes you put them in. When a lie comes between them and the life they've always known starts shifting beneath their feet, Eden and Miles are forced to reckon with something they've spent years carefully avoiding - the possibility that what they are to each other might be something more than friendship. And that admitting it could cost them everything they've built. Eden has always been better at protecting people than letting them in. Miles has always been better at staying close than telling the truth about why. Some love stories don't begin with sparks. They begin with years. With history and habits and the particular way someone says your name when they mean something more. And sometimes the scariest thing isn't falling in love. It's realizing you already have. But remember, a riorson is never just a riorson. Because a riorson was once a Moretti. Moretti mean guns. Moretti means danger. Moretti means war. Not your average teen romance. Not your average mafia romance. But maybe something in between. 🥇#88 popular 🥇#11 quietboy 🥇#22 hotguys

"I knew you'd be here." I let out a breath, settling down on the edge of the rock next to her. She kept quiet, her gaze focused on the gentle movements of the ocean. "I wanted to clear my mind." I took her hands in mine, intertwining them. "What's wrong?" I asked her, drinking in every inch of her face. She's gorgeous. "You don't need to tell me if you don't want to, but know that i'm always here for you." I spoke up when i noticed her silence. A smile crept up on her face, her dimples popping out on the side of her cheeks. "Thank you." "I think i'm in love with you." I grumbled out as i pulled her closer, slowly guiding her head to my shoulder. "Yeah?" Her warm eyes met mine as she let out a soft laugh. I looked down at her. "Yeah, my heart feels like it's beating out my damn chest."
