Everyone at school has a theory about Ethan Carter. Quiet. Weird. Intimidating. Probably a little antisocial. Nobody knows the truth. Ethan has been deaf since birth, and after years of being bullied, underestimated, and treated like he was incapable simply because he couldn’t hear, he learned to keep people at a distance. His hearing implants help him navigate the world, but sign language is still where he feels most comfortable. Then his teacher draws two names from a hat. Yours. And then— Ethan Carter. You’ve had a crush on him for months, quietly watching the intimidating boy from across classrooms and pretending you weren’t. What you don’t expect is for Ethan to already know exactly who you are. And once he decides he wants you in his life, he has absolutely no intention of letting you slip away.
