Some goodbyes are loud. Some are quiet.
And some leave without ever really saying farewell.
Yvaine Marie Alarcon thought she understood what it meant to let go. When her best friend Diane left for Italy, she told herself it was just distance not the end of everything they once shared. But what Diane didn't know was the truth Yvaine buried deep inside her heart: she had fallen for the same person.
Ryuu.--
Her boss. Her almost. Her first love that was never meant to be.
Choosing silence over confession, Yvaine sacrificed her feelings to protect a friendship that slowly slipped through her fingers anyway. And when Ryuu begins courting someone else, reality hits harder than she ever expected.
Just when she thinks her heart has learned its lesson, an unexpected moment changes everything.
A sudden collapse.
A stranger's arms catching her before she hits the ground. A quiet boy named Franksen who asks for nothing in return except to make sure she's safe.
Now caught between the ghost of her first love and the quiet presence of someone new, Yvaine must face the truth. Not all tears are meant to be hidden. Not all goodbyes mean the end. And sometimes, healing begins in the most unexpected hands.
Tears and Goodbyes is a story of friendship, guilt, first love, and the painful beauty of moving forward, one heartbeat at a time.
