(After High Series # 3) Lily Delphine Borromeo came to UPLB to build a life that was entirely hers-until Sandro Cantavieja decided to follow her there. She never questioned why her childhood friend chose the same university instead of staying in Seattle. She never asked why he looked at her like that. She was too busy pretending they were just friends. But some truths refuse to stay buried, and some feelings become impossible to ignore. Lily has spent her whole life avoiding complications, taking the safe path, running from anything that might disrupt the carefully constructed world she's built. Sandro has spent years being patient, waiting for her to stop running. When their fragile balance finally shatters, Lily learns that hiding from problems doesn't make them disappear-it makes them explode. And sometimes the thing you're most afraid of losing is the only thing worth fighting for.
