8 parts Ongoing MatureThe greatest love stories bloom slowly, taking their time to unfold.
Sam Knight wasn't always quiet, but after a nightmare shattered his world, silence became his refuge. His days bled into one another, each stroke of a paintbrush, each flip of a skateboard, a way to keep the pieces of himself together. He adapted, found a rhythm, but deep inside, a void lingered-a quiet ache he couldn't shake.
Life had its order until he was tasked with learning guitar in just a few weeks, and his tutor? None other than his brother's best friend, Christian Xanders.
Christian wasn't someone Sam saw often , but suddenly, he was everywhere-his presence slipping through the cracks of Sam's well-guarded world. The way their eyes would meet and hold just a little too long, the way Christian's words seemed to offer comfort Sam didn't even know he needed, the way the simplest touches sent ripples through the quiet void inside him.
And then, slowly, Sam began to see what was truly there between them-something more than everythiing, more than familiarity, something that could fill the emptiness he'd carried for so long.
But was he ready to let it in?
