Whispers Between Us
Prologue
> ✉️ To the stranger who sits under the old maple tree every Thursday at 4:00 PM...
Aria Monroe (FL)
Aria’s fingers trembled as she sealed the envelope.
Aria Monroe (FL)
Her heartbeat tapped louder than the rain against her window.
Aria Monroe (FL)
She had watched him—
Aria Monroe (FL)
Sketching alone beneath the giant tree outside the architecture building.
Aria Monroe (FL)
He never smiled.
Aria Monroe (FL)
Never looked up.
Aria Monroe (FL)
But Aria noticed the way he pressed his pencil hard when he was frustrated.
Aria Monroe (FL)
How his shoulders relaxed when the breeze hit.
Aria Monroe (FL)
She noticed everything about him…except his name.
Aria Monroe (FL)
She slipped the letter into the hollow of the tree that night.
Aria Monroe (FL)
No name, just a secret.
Kieran Vale (ML)
Kieran found the envelope.
Kieran Vale (ML)
He didn’t know who it was from.
Kieran Vale (ML)
But the words…they saw him.
Kieran Vale (ML)
And he couldn’t stop reading.
> ✉️ You look like someone who once loved something too much, and now you’re scared to love anything at all.
That letter—simple, anonymous, handwritten—would change everything.
And neither of them would be ready for what it unlocked.

Kieran Vale (ML)
Kieran’s pencil danced across the page,
Kieran Vale (ML)
Capturing the arch of a building he’d sketched a hundred times before.
Kieran Vale (ML)
But today, something felt...off.
Kieran Vale (ML)
He glanced down.
Kieran Vale (ML)
A white envelope peeked from the hollow of the maple tree.
Kieran Vale (ML)
Frowning, he looked around.
Kieran Vale (ML)
No one. The quad was nearly empty.
Kieran Vale (ML)
Curiosity won.
Kieran Vale (ML)
He opened it slowly.
Kieran Vale (ML)
The handwriting was delicate—like a whisper on paper.
> “You draw like you’re trying to fix something that broke in silence.”
Kieran Vale (ML)
His chest tightened. Who wrote this?
Across campus, hidden behind the literature wing,
Aria Monroe (FL)
Aria watched from behind her book.
Aria Monroe (FL)
Her heart thundered as he read.
Aria Monroe (FL)
Would he laugh? Toss it away?
Aria Monroe (FL)
But he didn’t.
Kieran Vale (ML)
Kieran folded the letter and placed it gently inside his sketchbook.
Aria Monroe (FL)
Aria exhaled a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
Words passed in secret, emotions blooming in silence.
Neither of them knowing... the words would soon mean more than they ever imagined.
