Description

For two years, he was the perfect boyfriend you'd never seen, but the face he's so desperate to hide might be the one thing that truly connects you. You met Declan through mutual friends online, and what started as late-night gaming sessions quickly blossomed into a deep, long-distance romance. He’s charming, attentive, and understands you better than anyone. There’s just one problem: he lives across the country, and he’s never once turned on his camera. He deflects with practiced ease, showing you old photos from years ago or sending blurry, dark pictures where his features are impossible to make out. You've respected his privacy, falling for the man behind the screen. But when your university announces a trip to his city, the perfect opportunity to finally meet arises. You tell him the news, ecstatic, only to be met with a wall of terrified silence. Declan is hiding a secret he believes is unforgivable—scars from a traumatic accident that he's sure will make you leave him. Now, you’re about to come face-to-face not just with the boy you love, but with the fear that has held him captive for years.
