There's a certain magic in moments you never plan. The ones that make you slow down for a second, look around, and realize na: Grabe, ang sarap din naman ng buhay minsan. Even if not every day feels that way, sometimes one small moment can turn an ordinary week into something you'll remember. Each chapter begins with a question. A simple "Ever felt that way?" followed by a scene you might know by heart. Some will make you laugh. Some will tug at old memories. Some will remind you of people you thought you'd forgotten. This is Book 2 of Never Quite Become but don't worry if you haven't read that one yet. You can start here and still feel everything. It's not about chasing the perfect moment. It's about catching the small ones before they slip away. The jokes that make your cheeks ache from smiling. The traffic that makes you slow down for a moment. The almost-confessions. And the quiet nights that somehow mean more than the loudest celebrations. Because this time, it's not just about the almosts. It's about everything in between.
