Silence used to mean something had gone wrong. For Steve Harrington, it becomes something else entirely - a place to breathe, to notice, to heal. As Hawkins moves from one disaster to the next, Steve learns that not all connections are loud, and not all love needs to be named to be real. The Space Between Words is a Steve-centric slow burn about survival, quiet devotion, and the moments that change everything without ever asking to be spoken aloud.
