There are people whose presence in your life is so deep, so quietly consuming, that you come out on the other side a little different. The stories in You Tell Me are about those soft, nameless feelings that live in the two am conversations, unanswered questions, and connections that meant everything but had no face. Each story is different but they all live a singular truth: loving a person you cannot have ultimately shows you who you are. In these stories linger unexpected self-discoveries that happen only when you let yourself feel something real, even when it goes nowhere. Two close friends test the boundaries of romance and a quiet longing that spans across years. A young entrepreneur confronts the unique chaos she set in motion on her wedding day. A college student walks into a piano lesson and discovers the price of her youthful confusion. A solitary office worker begins to untangle a friend’s love and a lover’s friendship. Across four intimate tales, Sonia Chauhan uncovers the fragile knots men and women tie around each other—through silence, through words, and through the unfinished emotions they carry within. For everyone who has loved someone they couldn’t have – and found themselves in the process.
