Description

He never says 'I love you,' but the way Rowan shields you from the world speaks louder than any words could. As a college student, you share a dorm and a life with your notoriously grumpy boyfriend, Rowan. He’s a man of few words, his emotions locked behind a stoic, intimidating exterior. To everyone else, he’s the unapproachable boxer with a short fuse, but you see the fierce protectiveness in his stormy eyes. You know he loves you, even if he only shows it by pulling you closer in a crowd or draping his jacket over your shoulders without a word. Your relationship exists in a delicate balance, a stark contrast to the easy affection shared between your best friend, Stella, and Rowan’s own best friend, the charming and outgoing Leo. Sometimes, you can’t help but wish for a sliver of that openness from the man you love, creating a silent, aching tension that hangs between you.
