Julian Wayne Cruz was never supposed to matter this much. What started as a chance encounter slowly became a routine. Then a comfort. Then something neither of them was willing to name. Sachi Gray Elizalde keeps her walls high and her heart guarded. Wayne keeps showing up anyway. But feelings are complicated, timing is cruel, and some people aren't ready for the kind of love standing right in front of them. In a story about longing, choices, and the things left unsaid, one question remains: How much of yourself are you willing to give... for someone you can never seem to hold on to? ───♡────────
