Have you ever wondered why people say goodbye?
Minsan masaya, minsan masakit. Pero para kay Hailer Gamboa, goodbyes are just words. Walang bigat, walang saysay. She's mastered the art of detachment. After all, what's the point of holding on when people always leave? Especially after surviving a toxic relationship with a guy who broke not just her trust, but also the way she saw love. Since then, she's stopped letting herself feel anything at all.
But all that changes the moment she meets Shelley Stella Sanchez, fiery, fascinating, and unlike anyone Hailer's ever met.
Shelley grew up in chaos, broken family, broken promises, and way too many nights pretending she was okay. Pero kahit ganon, there's something unshakable about her. She walks into rooms like she owns them, carrying pain like it's part of her armor. And Hailer? She can't look away.
Suddenly, goodbyes don't feel so empty anymore.
The more time they spend together, the more Hailer starts to question everything. Her beliefs. Her fears. Even the way she's been living her life. Shelley, with all her scars and strength, might just be the change Hailer never knew she needed.
But love isn't easy when you're used to pushing people away.
So now the question is: Can Hailer finally let someone in? Can she be the light in Shelley's darkness the same way Shelley unknowingly became hers?
Or will this be just another goodbye?
