What We Could've Been"
Peter never believed in fairy tales. Living with his grandmother in a small rural town, he grew up fast - hardened by abandonment, poverty, and the cruel sting of being unwanted. He's loud, stubborn, and refuses to let anyone see his scars.
Chris, on the other hand, is calm, admired, and beautiful in a way that makes hearts skip. He dances like he's made of light, but even he isn't sure what love feels like-until he starts noticing the boy who always watches from the shadows.
One boy loved in silence.
The other stayed silent to protect his heart.
When secrets unfold and a single birthday gift changes everything, will their quiet connection survive the noise around them?
A slow-burn BL romance about heartbreak, friendship, and the kind of love that changes everything - even if it was never supposed to be.
