Noah Night is seventeen, silent, and surviving. Haunted by a past she refuses to speak of, she moves through life like a ghost-unseen, unheard, and untouched. Her only safe place is her mum's arms, and even that sometimes feels too fragile to hold her broken pieces. Then Lacie Winter crashes into her world-fierce, red-haired, and reckless with kindness. She's the first person to look Noah in the eyes and see more than a scarred shell. But letting someone in means risking everything... and Noah isn't sure she can take that leap. As their worlds tangle, Noah must decide if she's ready to face the past she's buried and open herself to the one thing she's always feared-hope. But healing isn't easy. Love isn't a fix. And sometimes, survival feels like the hardest thing in the world. Will Noah find her voice in a world that taught her to stay silent, or will her past finally drown her for good? --- ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: This story contains sensitive content including: • Childhood trauma & abuse • Panic attacks & PTSD • Mentions of sexual assault (non graphic) • Anxiety & depression • Emotional manipulation • Recovery/healing themes Reader discretion is advised.
