Ben and Olivia are either laughing or at each other's throats-there's no in-between. To the outside world, they're chaos and charm. Banter and barbs. But underneath the teasing nicknames and constant one-upping, there's something deeper neither of them dares to name. Olivia hides her feelings behind sarcasm and a smile that rarely reaches her eyes. She cries in the shower, keeps people at arm's length, and refuses to let anyone see the cracks-especially Ben. Ben, the guy who masks his anxiety with bravado and charm. The one who's terrified of being alone and finds comfort in the noise... even when that noise is Olivia yelling at him. They weren't supposed to fall. Not for each other. Not like this. But sometimes, love doesn't arrive quietly. Sometimes... it collides. It tangles. And sometimes, it clashes.Complete
