When the quiet breaks

Oliver was seventeen when his world ended.
A car crash stole his father. Two years later, grief stole his mother too.
Now at university, Oliver carries the silence of loss like a second skin-distant, closed off, and barely holding it together.
Then Jayden appears.
Warm, persistent, and annoyingly hard to ignore.
Jayden sees through the quiet, into the cracks Oliver tries to hide. And when the past finally catches up, Jayden is there-not to fix him, but to sit beside him in the dark.
A story of slow love, real healing, and the kind of connection that doesn't ask you to be whole. Just honest.

The Weight of quiet things (Free sample)
Evelyn thought love was supposed to save her. At twenty-one, she's living in a cramped Adelaide rental with Jaxon-the boy who once made her feel chosen. He's passionate, intense, and when he's good, he's everything. But when he's not... he's cruel in quiet ways. With words that cut. With silences that scream. With promises that make her stay. Because love is supposed to hurt a little, isn't it? When Jaxon crosses a line she didn't know she had, Evelyn runs-with no plan, no bag, just a cracked phone and shaking hands. She ends up on her brother Jake's doorstep. Safe, but not whole. Then there's Kade. Jake's best friend. Her childhood tease turned quiet protector. He sees too much-asks too little. And something about the way he looks at her makes it hard to breathe. Living with them was meant to be temporary. But Jaxon still calls. Still says all the right things. And Evelyn can't stop loving him-not really. Not yet. As the past claws at her and something softer begins to bloom between whispered conversations and lingering glances, Evelyn is forced to choose: the man who once felt like gravity... or the one who makes her feel weightless.

Of Tea and Lies [WMBM]
William and Jackson have always existed in the spaces between-between past and present, between survival and something softer, between friendship and something neither of them are ready to name. But healing isn't linear, and neither is love. Between stolen glances, sharp words, and the slow unraveling of walls built too high, they'll have to decide: Is this something they can hold onto, or are they doomed to lose each other before they ever truly begin? Thanks for reading! Gracias por leer!Complete
