Until We Can Be Us

Ericka Garcia and Ryan Jimenez are in a relationship-or at least, something that feels like one. A secret relationship.

In front of everyone, they act like nothing more than friends. Simple glances. Quiet smiles. Casual conversations that seem to mean nothing. But behind those stolen moments lies something deeper-something only the two of them understand.

Ryan wants to tell the world. He wants to hold her hand without hesitation and show everyone that she's the girl he loves. But Ericka isn't ready. Not yet. She's afraid of what people might say, afraid of what might change, and most of all, afraid that once their secret is revealed, everything between them might fall apart.

So, they remain strangers in the eyes of everyone else-two hearts beating quietly in a love they're not ready to reveal.

But secrets never stay hidden forever.

As their feelings grow stronger and the risks become greater, will Ericka finally find the courage to face the world with Ryan?

Or will the pressure tear them apart before they even get the chance to be together?
