Haunted by grief and guilt, Cassey is determined to focus on her studies and leave the pain behind.
Then she meets Levi.
Levi knows the weight of loss too well. A veteran scarred by his own past, he hides his pain behind a guarded silence, keeping everyone at arm's length. But when he crosses paths with Cassey, something stirs-an undeniable connection, neither of them are ready for.
Drawn together yet broken in their own ways, Cassey and Levi find their worlds colliding. Tension simmers, hearts ache, and every moment shared feels like stepping closer to a fragile line. Will they help each other heal, or are they too shattered to be whole again?

Where Silence Lingers
"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.
