Elara Seraphine Montclair has always lived with quiet dreams - the kind that glow softly in the spaces she keeps hidden from the world. Between city lights, deadlines, and expectations that never seem to end, she's learned to move through life with grace, even when her heart feels heavy.
Orion Sebastian Vale is the opposite: calm on the surface, storm beneath the skin. A man who rarely speaks unless necessary, yet carries secrets deep enough to change the shape of someone's universe. From the shadows of his solitude, he finds himself drawn to Elara's light - not suddenly, but slowly, like a constellation taking form.
Their worlds collide on rooftops, under moonlit skies, and in moments neither of them expects. Orion becomes the quiet presence who steadies her, the one who watches over her when she forgets to care for herself. And though he hides it well, his devotion runs deeper than Elara realizes - a quiet promise he's never put into words.
Silent Constellations follows the tender, unhurried connection between two souls who weren't searching for love but ended up finding something far more profound. As their paths intertwine, they learn that some stories aren't loud or explosive - they're written in glances, in gentle touches, and in the silent language shared between two hearts looking at the same sky.
A city washed in starlight.
Two silhouettes dancing on a hill.
And a love that shines brightest when the world grows quiet.

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it."

Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with.
Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold.
He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was.
And she never asked for anything.
But then he started noticing.
Not her words - her silences.
Not what she wanted - what she gave up.
The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest.
And the girl who never expected anything...
is the reason he's learning how to give everything.

"Why do you always notice the things I don't say?"
He looked at her for a long second.
"Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more."
