Love in the silence between us
READING AGE 16+
Megan White knows the weight of a secret. As the chief bridesmaid at a lavish destination wedding in Paris, she stands by the altar and watches her best friend, Amaryllis Winston, prepare to marry Raymond Wallace. To the world, Megan is the supportive "sister" of the bride; but underneath her calm mask is a turmoil of unexplainable emotions and a piercing pain she must conceal.
Two years ago, Megan and Raymond were inseparable—"best friends" who were so close that everyone assumed they were dating. She was his rock through family and financial crises, even as she lied about having a boyfriend to keep his heart at a distance. Raymond’s love for her was clear from the moment they met, yet Megan chose to stay in the shadows, eventually watching him slip away.
Now, amidst the ivory pearls and Swarovski crystals of a "fairytale" wedding, the silence between them is about to break. As Amaryllis joyfully recites her vows, Raymond stands motionless. Instead of saying "I do," he turns away from the bride and walks toward the one woman he never truly left behind.
In a story of sacrifice, hidden longing, and the ghosts of the past, Megan must finally face the truth, some connections are too loud to stay silent forever.
