"I want to tell him how I feel, but I'm scared he might think I'm disgusting too."
π Michael has always lived in the shadow of others-never enough for his parents, constantly compared, constantly torn down. Behind his silence hides bruises that no one sees and a heart that aches for the one thing he's never been given: love.
β¨ Charles is the opposite-bright, warm, loved by everyone. The kind of boy who makes friends without even trying, the kind of boy Michael swore he'd never let into his guarded world.
But when two silent souls collide-one starved for affection, the other overflows with it-what happens when comfort feels dangerous, and love becomes the very thing that could break them both?
