Delilah Lael Laurent lives in a big house in Los Angeles - the kind with a driver out front, charity galas on the calendar, and a family half of the city whispers about.
She's used to appearances.
Used to silence.
Used to pretending she doesn't mind.
Junior year, the basketball captain won a medal and lost interest. Senior year, he still watches her like she's something he misplaced. Her twin sees everything. Her best friend knows better than to ask.
And Malachi?
Malachi stands a little too close for it to mean nothing.
No one confesses.
No one confronts.
No one says what actually happened.
Because around here, feelings aren't denied.
They're just never spoken.
And some things?
We don't talk about it.
