Two best friends, one broken from her traumatic past, the other trying to mend her back together...
With graduation just a couple months away, Atlas Evergreen struggles to keep up in order to leave her high school for good.
Unlike her, best friend Ambrose Coldblight has big plans for the future, hoping Atlas will be there by her side.
Everyday after managing all the stress and overwhelming worries, they both meet up underneath an orange tree on a hill, talking out their troubles together.
But as Ambrose's future becomes brighter, Atlas' becomes darker as the memories from her disturbing past come flooding through her head all over again.
She keeps her distress to herself, and it slowly becomes a burden on her shoulders.
As Atlas and Ambrose start to see the bigger image of what's coming their way, they start to realise that it'll take more than just conversations whilst munching on oranges every afternoon.

Silent Echos
Meadow Winslow has spent her life on the sidelines-observing, learning, enduring. Being mute in a world that never slows down for her has made her tough, but it's also made her careful. Careful about who she lets in, careful about the fights she picks, careful about the secrets she keeps. But then there's Atlas Linden. Mysterious, brooding, and way too good at pretending she doesn't exist. What started as an unexpected connection between them shattered the night Meadow found him in the last place she ever expected. Atlas thought he could stay away. He thought he could keep her safe by keeping her out of his world. But when Meadow finally stops waiting for him to let her in he realizes that silence has never been his ally. Because some echoes are too loud to ignore. And some people are impossible to forget.
