Dear reader, this is a MxM story, which means there will be mentions of homosexuality. If it's not your cup of tea, well... you've been warned.
Caleb has always lived in silence.
Eliot Rowan knows how to write silence. He built Caleb that way.
When Eliot's novel is adapted for screen, Averick steps into Caleb's role ... and sees the cracks. He starts asking uncomfortable questions. About love. About truth. About why some stories are written to endure instead of to feel.
As rehearsals turn into debates and debates into something quieter, Eliot begins to wonder whether he protected his character - or hid him.
And Averick begins to suspect that Caleb's silence wasn't the only one being kept.
What starts as creative disagreement slowly turns into something far more complicated.
Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't love.
It's being seen.
