Some stories begin with a kiss, a dramatic secret, or a twist of fate. This one began with a poem. Taped to a wall. No name. No title. Just a few quiet lines that somehow managed to say everything. Claire Emerson-the invisible girl who feels too much and says too little. And Eli Walker-the guy who always had something to say, and never said what he was really thinking. Verses Between Us is a story of the words we don't say out loud, the masks we wear, and the connection that grows when no one is looking.
