Small Lies

Alicia Bennett has spent her life mastering the art of hiding from herself.
As a museum exhibition designer, she has a gift for arranging beautiful things while keeping her own fractured desires carefully out of view. When she meets Jonathan Hale, a brilliant artifact restorer living with dwarfism, she convinces herself that her fascination with him is honest, pure, and real. But beneath that certainty lies a longing she has never dared confront.

Jonathan is accustomed to being underestimated, misread, or reduced to a symbol.
His craft gives him purpose, but loneliness follows him like a shadow. When Alicia enters his world with warmth and admiration, he lets himself hope, despite the quiet instinct warning him she is holding something back.

As their relationship grows, affection tangles with secrecy. A discovery from Alicia's past threatens to unravel the fragile trust forming between them, forcing both to confront the truths they have avoided. What begins as connection becomes a mirror reflecting shame, desire, vulnerability, and the deep human need to be seen as a whole person.

Small Lies is a psychological drama about intimacy, identity, and the quiet damage caused by the stories we tell ourselves. It is not a tale of villains, but of two imperfect people struggling to break patterns before those patterns break them.
