In a small town where pain hides behind quiet smiles, Ava struggles with the weight of her past - anxiety, loneliness, and secrets that threaten to consume her. When Kai, a mysterious and gentle soul, enters her life, he becomes a flicker of hope in her darkness. Their slow-burning connection challenges Ava to confront her fears and learn that maybe, just maybe, she's not as broken as she thinks.

Say you love me
"I want to help you." His bright eyes sparkle in the moonlight. "You can't help me! You hurt me!" By now, the tears I had been desperately trying to hold back finally slip out. "They hurt you!" As he yells, the anger in his voice eases out; his eyes are filled with familiar sadness. "I have nowhere else to go." I shoot back, taking a step away from him, afraid he will strike me as everyone else does. As soon as he notices this, his eyes widen, and his fists relax. "Come with me." He responds, hope gleaming in his eyes. I look up at the bright moon shining down on us as the breeze ruffles my hair. "Come with you?" I question. Just as he nods my dizziness takes over, sending me to the ground. His hands wrap around me, barely catching me. "Don't let them hurt me." I whisper, looking into his eyes, trying to not let the spinning world take me. "They won't hurt you anymore.
