Evelyn has never spoken a word in her life. People always judged her for it. Thought she did it for attention. No. She did it because she didn't feel safe at home. She had loving parents. But she was still scared. The memory of the incident had gone away but the feeling remained. The only place she felt safe was with Nora, her best friend. Nora spoke enough for both of them. She never judged. But by then it was too late. Not speaking became safe. And then when Nora, the only person that ever understood her, gets diagnosed with cancer, everything falls apart.

The Unnoticed Bird
Evelyn has always felt invisible. No matter how hard she tries to be seen, she's the one people look past - the quiet girl with too many thoughts and not enough words.

But it's hard to rebuild yourself when you've never really known who you were. A secret buried in her family's past. Then she meets someone who seems to understand her silence - someone who notices what others don't. And for the first time, Evelyn begins to see that maybe being unseen doesn't mean being unworthy. It's a story about feeling lost, about being quiet in a loud world, and about finding your voice when no one expects you to. Even the quietest souls have stories worth hearing.

Years have passed. They've built different lives and loved different people. but when fate forces them back into the same orbit, the gravity of the past is impossible to ignore.

Because sometimes, the people we spend a lifetime running from... are the very ones we've been running toward all along. But what happens when the love you finally claim becomes the very thing that divides you forever?
