    Summary

    Brendon had never known silence.

    His life had always been filled with noise, voices blending together, the constant movement from room to room, doors that rarely stayed closed, and spaces shared out of necessity. Fourteen people lived under the same roof, and being alone felt almost unfamiliar. It wasn’t an easy life, but it was the only one he knew.

    Medford had always been his home. A small city surrounded by nature, where time seemed to move more slowly and every corner held a memory. So when his parents announced the move to Las Vegas, Brendon felt something shift beneath him. It wasn’t about what he was leaving behind. It was about what waited ahead, a new place, new faces, and the exhausting possibility of having to begin again.

    Ryan, on the other hand, had grown up in silence.

    Just him and his father. Quiet didn’t frighten him; it felt familiar, almost comforting. As he prepared to begin his final year of high school, the future felt closer than he was ready for.

    Neither of them knew their worlds were about to meet.

    A new family. A final school year. Two lives shaped by opposite realities, about to collide.
