Summary
Maya visits the same book café nearly every day, alone, unnoticed, and content to stay that way. Until one afternoon, she finds a handwritten note in the margins of her favourite novel.
Carina, a scientist far from home, didn’t expect anyone to answer her quiet thoughts scribbled between the lines. But someone does and soon, the margins become their secret world.
Through shared words, letters, and underlined truths, two strangers begin to fall for each other, without ever speaking a word aloud.

Summary
Maya loves Saturday mornings: they are her refuge, a time when the world slows down and she can simply be. Despite her blindness, she has created a routine of her own—familiar footsteps leading to a corner café and a tiramisu that tastes like home.
But one March morning, her carefully balanced ritual is disrupted by an unexpected encounter: Carina, an impulsive and slightly clumsy student, accidentally bumps into her. Embarrassed by her own careless comment, Carina finds herself drawn in by Maya’s calm kindness and a disarmingly honest conversation begins. That morning, something fragile yet powerful is born: a connection made of attentive listening, carefully chosen words, and silences filled rather than broken.
Week after week, over shared desserts and increasingly personal exchanges, the two girls begin to truly know each other. Maya “sees” Carina in a way no one else ever has—beyond appearance, beyond judgment. And Carina, who has always felt invisible, discovers what it means to be heard.Bookmarked by Lief_74
