    Sincere Brielle White has always been the soft one-gentle voice, pretty smile, big heart. Everyone thinks she has it all together. Nobody knows about the insecurity she hides so deep she can't even say it out loud. She keeps her brightness polished and perfect... scared that if anyone looks too closely, they'll see the cracks underneath. Then there's Terajaie Imani Connell. Silent. Standoffish. Untouchable. The kind of stud who speaks with her eyes more than her mouth, who fights only when she has to, who carries her past like a weight she learned to hide. People fear her before they understand her-but she prefers it that way. Trusting people has never ended well. Until Sincere. A seating change puts them side by side, and Terajaie notices the things everyone else misses-the quiet tremble in Sincere's hands, the way her smile fades when she thinks no one is looking, the exhaustion behind her eyes. And Sincere sees past Terajaie's coldness, past her silence, past her armor... and finds the girl who's been alone for too long. What starts as awkward glances and accidental conversations turns into late-night texts, warm rides home, soft touches, and a connection neither of them were ready for. But loving someone means letting them see the parts you're terrified to show. Sincere's hidden insecurity. Terajaie's guarded heart. Two girls learning what it means to feel safe-really safe-for the first time. Because sometimes love isn't loud. Sometimes it isn't dramatic. Sometimes... it's just warm.

    For a moment nobody spoke. Then Garrett stepped forward, without hesitation and without asking. He wrapped his arms around her while Dean joined a second later, various emotion written all over his face. And somehow that was all it took for the emotions she'd been holding back to come crashing down. A sob escaped her before another one slipped over her lips, her eyes beginning to get red. ______________________ For Averia, life had so far revolved solely around college assignments, her figure skating career, her best friends and a party here and there. At least, it hadn't revolved around two hockey players who had infiltraded into her life like silent storms. One with his charming smile and his perfect ability to listen to every word she spoke. One who made her feel seen. The other with his mischievous grin and his hands wandering all over her body. One who made her feel desired in a way no one had before.

"Nessuno oserΓ  toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair.
