Inspired by the emotional pull of “Who Knows,” this story follows the ache of loving someone quietly while they never quite realise how much they mean to you. Lorenzo Berkshire has always hidden sincerity behind charm, flirting, and easy jokes, so when his feelings for you become real, you mistake them for the same playful act he gives everyone else. He notices the smallest parts of you, imagines impossible futures, and tries to say the truth in ways that sound casual enough to survive rejection. But after being misunderstood one too many times, Lorenzo begins to pull away, not because the love fades, but because he stops believing you will ever see it for what it is. Only when his attention disappears do you begin to notice the silence he leaves behind.
