Some loves are meant to stay. Some are meant to return. Celine Gonzales thought Nathan Angeles was the kind of love she would never have to forget. Until he cheated on her. After their relationship ended in high school, she spent years learning how to live without Nathan. Celine closed her heart, stayed away from relationships, and convinced herself that maybe love simply wasn't meant for her. Until Ace Villareal came along. Someone who was patient enough to wait for her. Someone who made Celine believe in love again. Ace didn't just promise forever-he gave her a ring and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. For the first time in years, Celine finally allowed herself to be happy. But happiness didn't last. An unexpected accident took Ace away before they could reach the future they had planned together. Now, Celine is left with a broken heart, an engagement ring she can no longer wear, and memories of the man she thought would be her forever. She thought losing Ace was the cruelest thing life could ever do to her. Until years later, Nathan-the person who broke her heart-is suddenly standing in front of her again. Older. Different. And somehow, impossible to forget. Celine knows she should walk away. After all, some wounds never truly heal. But why does being near Nathan feel strangely familiar? And why does her heart keep telling her that maybe their story was never really over? Sometimes, love doesn't come back the way you expect. Sometimes, it returns carrying a secret neither of them is ready to face.

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022
