Selene Santiago has spent her life in the shadows. At home, her parents' love comes wrapped in comparisons and disappointment. Her sister excels, her brother charms, and she... she quietly takes the blame, absorbs the scolding, and learns to disappear. At school, she is the "silent one," the girl everyone forgets exists - and sometimes, that's easier than being noticed. But someone finally does. Phoebe Morales sees her. The quiet corners, the careful smiles, the walls Selene has built around herself - Phoebe notices everything. She doesn't judge, she doesn't demand. She simply waits, and slowly, the walls begin to tremble. In a world that has taught her that love is not for her, Selene begins to wonder if it's possible to be seen... and if someone's warmth could pierce a heart long used to darkness.
