    Summary

    Whenever Johnny got to experience the feeling of love, it was short-lived.
    Two-three months in a relationship before he felt like he was suffocating.
    Breakups were relieving.
    No broken heart, no feelings, nothing. Not even anger or… sadness.

    Or so he thought.

    Johnny didn't have high expectations for his upcoming semester in Italy. He just hoped it would be alright.

    Who would've thought it was going to be more than that?

    What could possibly go wrong when he was friends with two goths, a fashion icon, a pink haired 80s groupie wannabe and a terribly shaven cowboy?

    Summary

    A coming-of-age story about two teenage boys forced to confront their deepest truths—about identity, desire, and belonging—despite the crushing expectations of family, teachers, peers, and society.

    Set in a 1950s British boarding school, Secrets We Keep follows Wolfgang: brilliant, popular, and driven, a golden boy destined for greatness. But when a quiet, brooding newcomer arrives from nowhere, Wolfgang’s carefully constructed world begins to crack.

    Can he learn anything from the boy he was told to pity—or avoid?

    A story about longing, repression, and the secrets we keep… even from ourselves.

    Summary

    Once Joseph’s fingers strike the keys, bringing to life a familiar tune, the audience jumps a little, surprised by the intensity of the first notes. Realizing that’s their cue, they’re fumbling to move down the aisle. During the two bars Joseph needs to sustain a chord for, Joseph shoots Caesar a smug smirk as if to laugh at him, but the Italian can’t find it in himself to bring the ire that fueled him during their first meeting, this new revelation stunning him.

    The tension rises during those two bars before Joseph’s fingers move on.

    The world seems to fade out, leaving nothing except the vision and sound of a man dedicated to his instrument.
