The Quiet Between Us

After the loss of his mother, Coco Arellano retreats into a world of silence and scribbled thoughts, where grief is a language only he understands. With his father doing his best to hold their fragile world together, Coco learns to navigate the quiet spaces of mourning-until a chance encounter changes everything.
Enter Mike: a boy with a gentle smile and a heart full of light. He doesn't ask Coco to be okay. He simply shows up-offering friendship, warmth, and the kind of presence that feels like home. As their bond deepens, Coco begins to rediscover the parts of himself he thought were lost forever.
Set against the backdrop of healing and unexpected connection, The Quiet Between Us is a tender coming-of-age story about love found in the most unlikely places, and the courage it takes to let someone in when your heart has been broken. Sometimes, the quietest moments speak the loudest-and sometimes, one person is enough to change everything.
