Colette carries a silent burden, one that has weighed her down for over a year. The trauma of that night isn't just something in her past-it's woven into the very fabric of who she is now. She's a girl who has learned to hide behind a mask, to pretend that everything is fine, when inside she's a walking ghost. The people who love her see the cracks, but even they don't know the full truth. And Fionn? He's the one she ran from, the one she couldn't explain. She left him without a word, terrified that the person he once saw her as no longer existed. What they had before the night is lost in the shadows of what happened, and Colette is convinced that if he knew the truth, he would look at her the way everyone else does-with pity, with sorrow. She can't bear that.
Fionn has always been the steady one. He's the kind of guy who notices the little things, who cares more than most, who has a way of making people feel seen. But that's all changed now. The girl he once knew is distant and broken in ways he doesn't understand. He knows something happened to her; he can feel it in the space between them. But every time he tries to reach out, she pulls away. The weight of her silence eats at him, gnawing away at the boy who only ever wanted to be there for her. He doesn't know what's really happened-he doesn't know that the girl he loved is still hiding something too raw to share. But he won't give up. Not yet. He's determined to find her again, even if he has to piece together the broken pieces of her heart to do it.
