two women. one chamber. a thousand secrets behind controlled smiles.

In the first of a series of spin-offs to Talk First, Think Later, Pia and Loren, whose relationship status still remains in limbo, find themselves on two different paths after the Great Senate Feud of 2025. On one path, there's Pia, thrust into the gargantuan task of being part of the new Senate leadership in one of the most polarizing administrations. On the other, there's Loren, who just ended her 27-year Senate career and jettisoned to London on short notice after her so-called "allies" dropped the ball on her in the hopes of fixing herself and her family out of the public eye. How long can Pia hold on to every hope before the dam breaks? Will Loren keep her promises, or will she bail once more?

An unexpected change of dynamics in the Senate has turned things upside down for four of its republics. Will power prevail over principles? Who will win between love and ambition? What does all these mean for the relationships they built over the past years?

"A tug was felt when we first met. Unsure of how we wanted to feel, we were like two magnets." A tale about a lawyer and a journalist who met on a train on their way home from work and realised they felt the same way about each other. How much time will they lose waiting for one of them to confess?

A year and a half after the fallout between veteran senators and, unbeknowest to their colleagues, ex-lovers Loren Legarda and Pia Cayetano during the end of the 16th Congress, the two esteemed lawmakers crossed paths once more after spending time in separate chambers of Congress when they were forced to work with each other when they were both part of the Bicameral Conference Committee responsible for passing the national budget. How could two strong-willed and very stubborn personalities learn how to trust each other again? Would they be able to rebuild their relationship enough to be able to work together? Would things go back to what they were in the past?

When long-buried betrayals and carefully constructed lies come to light, two women are forced to confront the truth of what they have done to survive, what they have lost in the process, and whether love can endure the devastation of being seen for who they truly are.
