One is sunshine. One is silence. Neither expected love to be so loud.
Nathanial
I was born to be seen. Give me a stage, a microphone, and a crowd that's ready to scream my name, and I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.
Relationships?
I'll pass.
I've seen enough broken hearts, messy breakups, and ugly endings to know they aren't worth the trouble. Flirting? Absolutely. One-night stands? Sure. Catching feelings? Not happening.
Then I meet him.
Zeke is the club's quiet, broody bouncer who barely speaks, rarely smiles, and somehow looks even better glaring at me than everyone else does laughing at my jokes.
He's everything I'm not.
And somehow... he keeps looking at me like I'm the only person in the room.
Someone should really save me the hurt before I forget all the reasons I swore I'd never fall.
Zeke
Keeping people safe is easy.
Keeping my distance is easier.
I've never needed loud conversations, crowded rooms, or the spotlight. I do my job, go home, and keep the rest of the world exactly where it belongs.
Then Nathanial crashes into my life wearing a smile brighter than the club lights, singing like he was born for the stage, and talking enough for the both of us.
He shouldn't make sense to me.
He definitely shouldn't make me want things I've spent years convincing myself I don't need.
But every laugh, every smile, every impossible ounce of sunshine he throws my way chips away at the walls I've built.
I know getting close means risking everything.
The only question is whether walking away would hurt even more.
