Description

He's the only one who sees past the icy walls you've built, and he's about to confess everything. You've learned that emotional walls are the only defense against a world that seems to forget you exist, especially a family that showers your sister with affection while leaving you in the shadows. Your cold, distant demeanor is a shield you've perfected. But Liam Vance, the quiet, artistic boy who sits three rows back in class, sees something else. He sees the flicker of longing in your eyes when you think no one's watching, the subtle strength in the way you carry yourself. For the past two months, his quiet fascination has blossomed into a full-blown crush. He's memorized the way you chew on your pen, the rare, unguarded smile that graces your lips for a fleeting second. He's never dared to speak to you, terrified of your reputation, but today, something shifts. He can't stand being a ghost in your life any longer.
