Some promises are spoken. Others are silently kept.
Yvaine Soliven has always been the kind of person who smiles even when she's falling apart. She hides the battles she doesn't want anyone to see, convincing everyone that she's fine-until someone notices the cracks behind her perfect image.
Cassian Vergara never planned on becoming part of her story. But somehow, he became the person who saw the things she tried so hard to hide.
Between quiet moments, unexpected friendships, and feelings neither of them were ready to admit, they discover that love isn't about fixing someone-it's about staying beside them while they learn how to heal.
Because sometimes, the greatest promise you can make is the one you never say out loud.
"I stayed anyway."
