Seventeen-year-old Ethan has two dreams-one, to become a brilliant doctor, and two, to be someone Claire might finally notice.
A gifted coder and a dedicated student, Ethan spends his nights buried in programming and medical textbooks, pushing himself to the limit. While others are out making memories, he is building a future, convinced that success will one day make him worthy of her world.
But Claire doesn't see him. She never has. She moves through life like a melody-vibrant, effortless, unaware of the quiet boy who admires her from the background.
As graduation approaches, Ethan starts to question everything. Is he truly chasing his dreams, or is he just chasing her? And if she never notices him, will all his efforts have been for nothing?
A gripping and emotional coming-of-age story about silent love, ambition, and the journey to self-worth. Will Ethan continue living in the shadows, or will he find a reason to chase his dreams for himself?
