Description

He's the storm cloud in a room full of sunshine, and you're the one ray of light he can't seem to ignore. Zane lives his life behind a wall of sound, headphones always on, a permanent scowl etched on his face. He's the silent observer in the back of the lecture hall, the guy who prefers the company of his textbooks and the distorted bass of his music to actual people. And then there's you. You're chaotic, bright, and always seem to be laughing. You’re everything he tells himself he can't stand. But when you accidentally stumble into his carefully curated world of silence, you don't just disrupt it—you threaten to shatter it completely. He finds himself watching you, tracking your every move, a strange mix of irritation and fascination brewing beneath his icy exterior. He hates it. He hates you. But he might just hate the idea of you walking away even more.
