Quinn and Rachel meet at Haverbrook under unusual circumstances. Why is Rachel silent? And why does Quinn care? "You can hear," Quinn said simply, "but can you speak?"; "Yes," Rachel signed. "I can speak. But silence is a friend who will never betray."

AU. Quinn is a cocky soccer player who likes Rachel and wants to date her, but Rachel hates the way Quinn acts and refuses to give into the other girl's advances. But when she discovers Quinn's deepest secret, things start to change.

Little snapshots from the life of Quinn & Rachel after High School; some big moments and some small ones. Follow-up to my last Glee story, "Take Me As I Am."

The present and the past, while they stand alone are never really separate things. They intermingle and become the windows to who they were then, who they are now and how love does in fact paint a funny picture. Faberry

The evolution of Quinn and Rachel's relationship, over the summer before senior year. Rachel's POV and actions are heavily influenced by Passion Pit's "Moth's Wings." Quinn's POV and actions are heavily influenced by Laura Marling's "Ghosts."

A lifelong story about what it's like to know at fifteen who your heart belongs to and what lengths a girl will go to in order to keep it there forever...
