What We Hold in the Quiet

Some truths aren't spoken—they're felt in the silence between words.

Alex wants connection—but in a world that sees his blindness before it sees him, even that feels out of reach. Grindr offers possibility, but too often it ends in rude comments, rejections, or being blocked before he can finish a sentence. Still, he tries. Still, he hopes.

Noah wasn’t supposed to be different. Their first messages were cautious, the way strangers often are. But something in the way Alex speaks—direct, curious, disarmingly open—pulls Noah in. What starts as a late-night chat grows into something neither of them expected: a slow, tentative unraveling of everything they’ve been hiding.

As their connection deepens, both men must navigate the weight of past wounds, the challenges of being seen fully, and the quiet strength it takes to risk being loved.

What We Hold in the Quiet is a tender, character-driven queer romance about disability, identity, and the fierce kind of intimacy that grows in the spaces we rarely let others enter.
