Emily knew very well how to keep her feelings hidden. She could store them away behind achievements, behind poetry, and behind a polite smile every time others talked about Wescliff and she could only stare at the floor whenever she heard that name. Born into a simple but warm family, she grew up with big dreams and a heart that was perhaps too easily touched. On the other hand, there was a guy named Elias who knew exactly how to shine. From participating in international debates, from the podium of The Wescliff Union, even from every room that would automatically turn to him with fascinated gazes. But when he first met Aira, who came from a small and simple world far from the spotlight, he felt seen for the very first time. From accidental emails to late night conversations, from the fear of being left behind to the courage to step forward together, both of them began to realize that love doesn't always arrive with a bang. Sometimes, love is felt in the silence. And sometimes, you only realize.... You are in love.
