The Quiet Listener

Tessa is trying to rebuild her life - new routines, new support, new attempts at feeling normal again. But the harder she tries to move forward, the more the world around her begins to shift in ways she can't explain.

Objects aren't where she left them.
Strangers seem to know things she's never said out loud.
And the feeling of being watched follows her everywhere... even into her dreams.

Her therapist says it's stress.
Her friends say she's overwhelmed.
Tessa wants to believe them.

But when the messages start - quiet, personal, impossibly specific - she realizes something is wrong. Someone is paying attention to her in a way no one should.

Someone who understands her fears a little too well.
Someone who knows exactly how to get close.

As Tessa tries to hold her life together, she's forced to confront a terrifying possibility:
the danger she escaped once may not be gone... it may just be getting started.

A slow‑burn psychological thriller about trust, vulnerability, and the unsettling feeling of being truly seen.
