Where Quiet Lives

🌙 Where Quiet Lives
by 11quin

Aira Noelle Salcedo only wanted silence.

She enters college with no plans of falling in love-not after the mess she left behind. But one quiet night outside a convenience store, she meets Arven Alaric Velarde.

He's rich, reserved, and engaged to someone he doesn't even like. She's guarded, sarcastic, and just trying to make it through the semester. What begins as small talk turns into shared food, late-night visits, and a camera that always seems to find her.

Somewhere between billiards, quiet crushes, messy friendships, and glances that last too long-they find each other. Slowly. Quietly. Until it feels like too much.

"No loud declarations. Just a glance. A breath. A 'see you tomorrow.' And somehow, that was enough."
