When the Moon Forgot to Sing

🌙 Title: When the Moon Forgot to Sing
💫 Blurb
Kael used to be a voice that calmed storms. Once a celebrated singer whose songs felt like tides woven with moonlight, his voice fell silent after a tragic fire-scarring his hands, and haunting his heart. Now he crafts in solitude, letting music live through wood and wire, but never through him.
Ezra never meant to be a father figure. A high school teacher more comfortable behind dry humor and takeout menus, he suddenly finds himself guardian to Mira-his twelve-year-old niece with starlit eyes and endless questions. Ezra's life now includes lunch boxes, bedtime stories, and quiet grief tucked between school bells.
When they move next door to Kael, misunderstandings bloom: a scowl mistaken for menace, silence mistaken for apathy, a music box mistaken for threat. But Mira sees differently. Through comics, garden gifts, and stubborn joy, she begins to untangle the quiet between them.
As Ezra and Kael are drawn into Mira's world-and into each other's-something begins to stir. Music not sung, but felt. Love not shouted, but grown gently in silence.
Because sometimes, the moon doesn't stop singing-it just forgets for a while.
