"He didn't ask me to speak.
He just looked at me like he already knew every word I'd never say."

I've always lived in the quiet.
Not because I'm broken. Not because I'm shy.
But because silence is where I feel safe. Where I feel seen.

My hearing aids help me listen.
Lip reading helps me understand.
But no one's ever cared enough to truly hear me.

Until him.

Jace Briar is everything I'm not.
Loud. Popular. Reckless. Alive.

But when he looks at me... it's not pity. It's not curiosity.
It's something real.

And the boy who speaks like the world's always listening...
is the first person who ever made me feel like I mattered.

"She's never needed to be loud to make noise. She just...exists-and suddenly, everything's quiet."

I've been the center of attention for as long as I can remember.
The jokes. The parties. The noise.

But then I met Ellie Noel.
She doesn't talk much, but somehow she says everything.

She's beautiful, smart, untouchable.
And the more I listen, the louder her silence gets.
The more I fall.

She thinks her quiet is a flaw.
But to me? It's the only thing that's ever made sense.

And I'd give up every word I've ever said...
just to be the one she lets in.
