Until she looks back

Liv is nearly eighteen and soon coming out of a psychiatric facility, she's sent back to school under supervision - fragile, quiet, and completely overwhelmed.
She's not ready...
Not ready to sit in classrooms again.
Not ready to talk to strangers.
Not ready to smile when everything still feels broken.
The outside world moves too fast. Everyone wants something.
And all Liv wants is to feel... safe.
Then, in the middle of it all, the noise, the panic, the pressure, she finds a quiet place.
A steady voice. 
A pair of eyes that don't look away.
A presence she wasn't looking for.
She doesn't understand why it matters.
But something starts to form, slow, quiet, intense.
Something she holds onto when nothing else makes sense.
She's so important for Liv. But it seems like she doesn't even notice her.
Until she looks back.
