Whispers Between Us Prologue

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.

For three weeks,

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.

The next Thursday,

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.
