Summary
When they were kids, Max taught Abby sign language for when everything got too loud. They called it quiet talk.
Years later, Abby Littman has built a life in San Francisco with a partner who loves her, a career she earned, and enough distance from Wellsbury to pretend the past stayed there.
When a job opportunity brings her to New York, Abby plans for a new city, new people, and a different life.
She does not plan for Maxine Baker.
Ps. For anyone new reading the first chapters are under construction!

Summary
Junior year.
Max is dating Esme. Abby is being extremely normal about it.
Abby drinks vodka at school sometimes. Draws things she won’t explain. Max writes a play about it, sort of. Esme holds everyone together until she starts coming apart too, which would be easier for Abby to ignore if she hadn’t started caring.
In the art room, Marcus, Ginny, and Esme run a zine club for things nobody says out loud. Obviously, everyone handles this with grace.
If you want Abby’s leg taping, body image, avoidance, and Max’s fear of being abandoned treated seriously: this fic goes there.
If OCs or poly fic usually aren’t your thing: Esme will hook you, then fall apart too.
Rotating POV: Max, Esme, Abby. Max/Esme, Abby/Max, Abby/Esme. Poly endgame. Slow-burn sapphic. Mind the tags.
