8 parts Ongoing She had learned to hide her scars behind a smile. Life had broken her once, leaving her heart guarded and her laughter fragile. Love was something she no longer trusted-until she met him.
He was different. An introvert, quiet and reserved, the kind of boy who blended into the background. But his eyes spoke more than words ever could. He watched her from a distance, noticing the little things others ignored-the way her smile faltered when no one was looking, the strength in her silence, the fire in her spirit.
He never approached, never confessed, yet his quiet presence became her safe place. Slowly, without realizing, she found herself falling first-drawn to the boy who never tried to impress, only understood. And in his silence, she found a love stronger than words, a love that healed what she thought would remain broken forever.
