What starts as a simple friendship quickly grows into something more, but with every moment that draws them closer, Ethan pulls further away, leaving Lily wondering if love is worth the silence that follows.

Behind his cool exterior is a boy terrified of being vulnerable, afraid that if he lets Lily in, he'll destroy everything they've built. His heart is a maze of insecurities, and the more he tries to keep her at arm's length, the more he fears he's losing her for good.
