Until Someone Sees You
Isaac has spent his life studying language.
Words are predictable. People are not.
Chosen to represent humanity during its first face-to-face meeting with an alien civilization, he expects the greatest challenge to be translation. Instead, he finds himself under the careful gaze of Evander-an alien diplomat who notices every glance, every hesitation, every feeling Isaac thought he had learned to hide.
Evander has spent his own life as an outsider. Born unable to share the emotional connection that binds his people together, he has learned to understand others through observation alone. For the first time, he meets someone who navigates the world in much the same way.
As diplomatic negotiations unfold between two civilizations, a quieter connection begins to grow between two men who have always stood just outside everyone else's world.
Some people spend a lifetime searching for someone who understands them.
Sometimes, all it takes is one person who truly sees you.
