Kalea Hailey Mendez never planned to fall in love. Tahimik lang siya, kuntento sa mga libro, at pangarap maging abogada. Love was never part of her plan, too uncertain for someone who valued peace. Then came him. A fellow future lawyer, cousin ng best friend niya. A man who didn't try to change her, but saw her. Someone who listened to her silence, believed in her dreams, and helped her breathe a little deeper. With him, Kalea learned to smile more, to care for herself, to live-not just exist. And for the first time, she let herself love. But not all love is mutual, and not all hearts beat in sync. Sometimes, love isn't enough to make someone stay. So she stepped back. Masakit man, she chose to love him from afar. To let go, without anger or bitterness. She chose growth, healing, and peace. Because maybe, if it's meant to be, love will return. And if not, at least she learned to love herself in the process. She gave her heart, quietly and fully. And maybe just maybe their love will find its way back... when it's time.
