Silent Chaos

Vera Hale has spent most of her life learning how to disappear-into silence, into routine, into a version of herself that asks for nothing and expects even less. With no ties to her past and no room for anyone in her present, surviving quietly has always been enough.
Until the rain brings him.
Aiden Cross is everything Vera isn't-warm, persistent, and impossibly alive. He talks too much, smiles too easily, and refuses to be pushed away. Where Vera builds walls, Aiden knocks on them like they were never meant to stay standing.
But some silences exist for a reason.
And some pasts don't stay buried forever.
As the distance between them begins to fade, Vera is forced to face the truth she never knew she was running from-and the boy who might just change everything, if she lets him.
