Nevaeh Stephen has mastered the art of silence. At 18, she's learned it's safer not to speak-especially when home is a place of fear rather than comfort. Selectively mute and emotionally guarded, Nevaeh floats through her senior year unnoticed, unheard, and untouched by the world around her.
Until Nathan Edwards.
Golden-hearted, persistent, and frustratingly kind, Nathan sees through her silence. Where others look away, he leans in. And no matter how hard Nevaeh tries to shut him out, something about him draws her in-slowly, terrifyingly, and undeniably.
But caring means vulnerability. And vulnerability means risk.
As Nathan tries to unravel the quiet mystery that is Nevaeh, her carefully controlled world begins to crack. Secrets surface. Trust is tested. And Nevaeh must make a choice: stay safe in silence... or speak, and finally be heard.

And then there's Isaac Panell. Kind, observant, curious Isaac-who may or may not be May's friend. Because sometimes he's laughing with Camila. Sometimes he's apologizing with his eyes. And sometimes, he's just... gone. He's the gay wild card. Three teens. Three truths. One school where silence is dangerous, and secrets are louder than words. 🌙 Characters: May Crudence - 13 years old - Selectively mute - Emotional empath - Speaks only to Owen (her brother) and sometimes Zee - Quiet, sensitive, smart-and so much more than what people assume - Her silence isn't weakness.

Isaac Panell - 13 years old - Gay, emotionally complex - Camila's tagalong... but maybe not by choice - Wants to do the right thing. Doesn't always succeed. - May trusts him.
