❝ I KNOW HER SILENCE. I LIVE IN IT. ❞ • ୨💌୧ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . Aurora Kelly has grown up between open fields and closed doors. A farm girl with dirt under her nails and kindness in her bones, she's learned how to carry responsibility quietly. Sweet, steady, unbreakable-at least that's what everyone thinks. After the night that stole pieces of her memory, Aurora lives with fear she can't name and pain she can't fully remember. She doesn't want sympathy. She just wants space to breathe. Joey Lynch doesn't believe in breathing easy. A hurler with bruised knuckles and oil-stained hands, he spends his days working in a garage and his nights holding his family together. Raised in violence, shaped by addiction, Joey became the parent long before he stopped being a child. He fixes engines because they make sense. People don't. She's always been his best friend's little sister-off-limits, untouchable, not his to look at twice. Until she starts showing up in his chaos, fitting into his broken world with quiet patience and eyes that see too much. One slow unraveling changes everything. Two people carrying more than they should recognize the damage in each other-and for the first time, neither looks away.
