    Summary

    Maya and Mia, once inseparable twins, shared a bond that transcended words. Maya had been Mia's protector, sacrificing her dreams to pull her sister from trauma's silence, becoming her voice and anchor. But when Mia found solace in Landon, Maya's role faded. Landon became Mia's new shield, leaving Maya to grapple with the sting of her own absence.

    The cracks in Maya's life had formed over years, hidden beneath her fierce independence and sharp smiles. Nikolai failed to see her unraveling, their parents focused on Mia, and Vaughn's loyalty left him blind to Maya's descent.

    Maya's disappearance wasn’t abrupt but inevitable. She left a note: “Sometimes, the only way to protect someone is to disappear.” Her family, left with silence and regret, realized too late that Maya’s departure was less an escape and more a haunting reminder of the love and truths they had ignored.

    ON HOLD FOR NOW.
