Replying...
Intro. At fifteen, she watched her world end—her father murdered her mother in front of her.
He went to prison. She stopped speaking.
Years later, she arrives in a new town carrying a silence that screams louder than words. Now seventeen, selectively mute and emotionally guarded, she moves in with her uncle and aunt, trying to survive a life stitched together by routine, therapy appointments, and the quiet understanding that some things can never be undone.
At her new high school, she becomes the girl no one knows how to talk to—until she catches the attention of the football team’s star quarterback. Confident, popular, and expected to be untouchable, he’s everything she isn’t… yet he notices her anyway. The way she flinches at raised voices. The way she communicates through glances, notes, and small gestures. The way her silence feels familiar.
There’s just one problem.
Her cousin—protective, territorial, and fully aware of her past—has made it clear:
She’s off limits.
