I cross a language, a world, and all my fears... just to fall for the one man I can never tell.

He crash-lands into my hidden world -- bruised, stubborn, and definitely too old for me.
An American stranger with no idea how much danger he's brought to my village... or to my heart.
I should have left him there.
Should have turned away when the elders warned me.
Instead, I bandage his wounds, steal him food, and pray nobody finds out.
Instead, I fall -- slow, stupid, and hopeless -- for a man I can't even speak to.
We hide under banyan trees.
We free trapped elephants together.
We dream with our hands because my voice has never worked.
By the time he kisses me -- careful, reverent, forbidden -- I already know:
I would follow him anywhere, even into a world I've never seen.

Because loving him might mean leaving behind everything I know in China.
And it also means finding a voice I never believed I could have.
