"She hid her pain in silence-until he became the voice that made her feel heard." Astrea Emerald is known for being talkative, energetic and one call away kind of friend little they don't know she was burdened by the silent weight of her family issue she never dares to voice. Living in a house where love feels transactional and expectation, Astrea learns to hide her pain behind smile and silence. But everything begins to change when she met Xarrion Cooler a kind-hearted, soft spoken man who see through cracks in her armor. With patience and warmth, Cooler becomes her safe space-someone who listens without judgment, who stays when things get dark. As their bond deepens, Astrea finds strength in their connection, slowly learning to confront her past, speak her truth, and believe she deserves more than just survival. Will the safety they found in each other endure, or will the weight of their unresolved scars turn comfort into conflict? Will they find peace in their love-or will their own temperaments become the storm that tears them apart? "I can guarantee your wants. I can assure you are happy. Because when I'm with you, long-lasting happiness isn't just a hope-it's what I fight for."
