Summary
At school, Lou Goossens disappears into the background—quiet, overlooked, and often the target. But at home, he’s surrounded by warmth and love, even if he keeps certain things locked behind his smile. Then everything shifts.
Marius De Saeger has always been the golden boy: handsome, sharp tongue, and a last name that opens doors. But beneath the polished surface lies an empty house, distant parents, and a loneliness he’s never let anyone see—until Lou.
What begins with humiliation and regret slowly unravels into something else. Something fragile. Marius wants to make things right. Lou isn’t sure he can trust that.
Then something happens—something that leaves Lou quiet in a different way. Detached. His eyes don’t shine like they used to, and the boy who once tried to disappear now seems like a ghost of himself. No one seems to notice. But Marius does.
