"Book #1 in the Silence Series
Elijah is no ordinary boy. In fact, he is as different from what a normal boy could possibly be. 
  The golden rule in is life has always been ""listen before you speak"", but what happens when he meets a boy? Will he still be able to just listen? Even when the boy urges him to speak all the unspoken words he has tried so hard to silence for so many years?
  When Blake walks into Elijah's silent world, the sound starts forming around Elijah's mouth; and he speaks for the first time in four years.
  Will Blake still love Elijah after hearing everything that Elijah has listened to but never spoke about all those years, or will he get the hell out of dodge as his instincts scream?

　　“Did you pick up the bouquet?” I ask as Lucy enters the room with the view over the entire garden. I picked the West tower room to get dressed in. It just seemed perfect since it overlooks the orchard where Blake and I sat on the hill the night I ran away from him and he promised with all his heart to glue my broken heart back together.


　　“Yes, but seriously my gay pom-pom… I think it would look a bit weird is you walk down the aisle holding a bouquet. Especially since you will be walking hand in hand with Timothy. It’s just weird,” Lucy says but she takes a beautiful bouquet out of the box she brought in with her. It’s filled with soft white roses and black calla lilies. I sigh when I look at it.


　　“He’s gonna love it,” I say as I take it from her, smell the roses and give it back to her – motioning for her to put it back in the box.
