Marcilotte Blake has spent years perfecting one thing: looking happy.
No matter how heavy her past is, she keeps a smile on her face and a joke on her lips. She's the loud one, the fun one, the girl who says I'm fine so often that even she almost believes it. If she keeps everyone laughing, no one will ever notice how much she's still hurting.
Then Blake West crashes into her life.
He's bold, bubbly, and impossible to ignore. He talks too much, laughs too loud, and somehow makes every room feel brighter. Instead of being put off by
Marcilotte's energy, he matches it-and somehow, that makes it harder for her to hide. Blake doesn't just see the happy version of her.
He sees the girl underneath, the one still carrying pieces of a past she's never faced.
What starts as playful chaos slowly turns into something real. Something scary. Something honest.
Because when two people who use laughter to survive fall for each other, the truth eventually has to come out.
And Marcilotte will have to decide if she's brave enough to stop pretending she's fine... and let someone love her as she is.
