Lucian Montemayor & Solea Claudine Limson Claudine had moved on, or at least that's what she told herself. She had a new city, a new routine, and no reason to look back. Until Lucian returned. The boy who left without warning. The boy who took all their unspoken words with him. She thought time would make it easier. She thought she had healed. But when the past comes knocking, so do the questions she never asked. What really happened back then? And why does it still hurt? Some goodbyes leave scars. Some memories don't fade. And sometimes, the truth stays exactly where the salt stings. *** Language: Taglish Start: 08/07/25 - hi, this story is on pause while i focus on finishing my other story.

And then, without warning, she disappeared. Some say she chose to leave. Others believe she was hiding something. But one person never stopped looking. Not because of what she had, but because of who she was. In a world built on secrets, will the truth rise with the tide or sink forever into Saltwater Lies?
