THE ECHOES WE KEEP
Some hearts don't shatter. They harden-quietly, invisibly-until they can't feel anything at all.
I've built my life behind a wall of glass-a silent, invisible shield forged from years of trauma, heartbreak, and broken promises. From the chaos of my childhood to the ache of emotional isolation, I've learned to survive by feeling less. But survival isn't the same as living.
Then I met Noah.
He's a quiet musician with a gentle soul and a strange gift-he can hear the emotions others try to hide. When he looks at me, it's like he sees through the glass. Through his music, he reaches places inside me that I thought were lost. He hears the pain I never speak of-the echoes I've kept buried for so long.
And for the first time in forever... I want to be seen. I want to feel. I want to heal.
The Echoes We Keep is a raw and tender story about trauma, trust, and the fragile beauty of letting someone in. It's for anyone who's ever been scared to love again-and everyone who's still trying to find their way back to hope.
