Lights were always a bit too bright around me, but nothing was clear. Everything made sense and at the same time, nothing at all. Like, why am I here? Really. What's the point if I'm alive?? Because I was never truly living. ... Not until I met you. I may have been surrounded by light, but I felt so dark... So empty. Now, Can I be selfish? Just one more time? Please? Okay. Here it is... I will never regret meeting you. ... No matter how much it hurts to leave.

Their unexpected connection is the first moment either of them feels truly seen. But the instant spark turns into a complicated, painful conflict when Crystal is reassigned to Leon's best friend. Forced to choose between his loyalty and his growing, forbidden desire, Leon must confront the truth he's always buried. For Crystal, Leon is the only person who might understand the silence she keeps-if she can just learn to trust him with the things she fears to unearth.
