Beneath the silence

Amira Smith is a sharp-tongued, emotionally guarded investigative journalist with a lot on her plate a complicated family, a demanding job, and no time for distractions. But when she's assigned to cover Project Helios at NASA, the last thing she expects is Armin Arlert: brilliant, blunt, and frustratingly beautiful. Their first meeting is a disaster. Their second leaves her, wondering who Armin really is, something about him lingers.

As they circle each other through awkward coffees, late-night emails, and slow-burning tension, Amira finds herself pulled into a connection she didn't ask for but maybe just maybe needs. But Armin has secrets of his own, and when a moment of betrayal shatters everything, they're both left to ask: how do you rebuild trust with someone who made you feel safe... and then broke you?

A story about healing, falling (again), and learning that sometimes love isn't about fixing each other it's about choosing to stay when things get hard.
