Eliza Moore has learned to disappear. Shy, guarded, and carrying a past she never shares, moving to a new town and starting at Buckner Hall should be just another step in keeping herself invisible. But life has other plans. Between meeting Bay, navigating new friendships, and adjusting to a world that seems impossibly bright and loud, Eliza finds someone who sees her not the walls she's built, not the silence she hides behind. Emmett Bledsoe notices. Quiet, observant, and patient, he doesn't push or demand. He simply shows her that trust is possible. Slowly, quietly, their friendship grows and with it, something deeper. Amid the challenges of a new school, new friendships, and a secret pregnancy, Eliza begins to discover that she doesn't have to face the world alone and maybe, just maybe, opening up could be the first step toward healing and love.
