Victor doesn't laugh. Not anymore. After growing up under the cold, brutal shadow of his father's abuse, he's learned that silence is safer than speaking, and that hiding in the corners of the world is the only way to survive. His only escape? A quiet seat in the back corner of the Chuckle House-a struggling comedy club where people laugh loud enough to cover the pain they carry. Emily doesn't cry. Not in front of people. Not since the orphanage. Her past is buried beneath locked doors and closed buildings. She has no home, no family, and no faith in the idea of love. She's been used, dismissed, and forgotten. Until one rainy night, she walks into the Chuckle House looking for shelter-and finds something else entirely. A boy. A chair. A silence that sees her. They meet without names. They return without promises. They fall in love without ever meaning to. But what begins as quiet company becomes something deeper-a fragile, unspoken bond forged in nightly visits, exchanged glances, and the shared weight of unhealed wounds. Together, they learn that you don't need to laugh to feel joy, and you don't need to cry to feel seen. But healing isn't simple. And the past doesn't disappear just because someone stays. As Victor's father's shadow begins creeping back into his life and Emily is forced to confront the truth behind the orphanage's closure, both of them must decide: Do you run from pain forever? Or do you finally let someone in... even if it hurts? "Cry" is a raw, heartfelt slow-burn romance-thriller about two broken souls learning to find strength-not in perfection, but in presence. In the quiet. In the seat beside you.

𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘸-𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘸. Calla has always known she wasn't wanted. Not by her parents. Not by her seven siblings. Not even by the servants who barely acknowledge her. She's used to being ignored, used to being unloved-and used to quietly loving someone who doesn't love her back: her brother's best friend, Kieran Holt. But when he snaps at her in a moment of carelessness, something inside her breaks. Calla begins to fade-stops reaching out, stops speaking, stops trying. And when her body finally gives out from an illness no one even knew she had, her family is forced to face the truth: the sister they all overlooked was slowly disappearing right in front of them. Kieran is the first to realize just how badly he hurt her. And he's determined to earn her trust, her forgiveness... and her heart. Because now that he sees her for who she really is-soft, strong, worthy-he'll never look away again. A heart-shattering, slow-burn brother's best friend romance about trauma, healing, and being loved out loud for the very first time.
