Ophelia thought time would make it easier. That one day, his name wouldn't feel so heavy, and seeing him wouldn't hurt the same. But every hallway, every corner of the campus, reminds her of what they used to be and what she can never have again. But love has a strange way of rewriting stories. Because in the shadows of the past she can't let go of, there's someone who quietly stays. Someone who was never part of her world-only a distant figure tied to the man she once loved. They were never close. Never even spoke. Until they did. And in the silence between almost and always, she's forced to face the truth: How do you let go of a love that still feels like home...when something new is slowly teaching you what it means to be chosen?

Akala ni Chantel, ang labas ng mansyon ay puno ng kulay at ligaya. Ngunit sa bawat hakbang niya sa semento, may mga banta ng kamatayan na nakabuntot. Sa paaralang puno ng bagong mukha, makikilala niya si Nathan-ang lalaking magiging depensa niya sa gitna ng panganib. ​Ngunit hanggang kailan siya kayang protektahan ng pag-ibig? Sa mundong labas, kung saan ang sakit ay kasing-totoo ng hanging hinihinga niya, matututunan ni Chantel na may mga katotohanang mas nakamamatay pa kaysa sa mga bala. Sino ang taong kailangan niyang mahanap bago mahuli ang lahat? At sapat ba ang kalayaan kung ang kapalit nito ay ang kanyang huling hininga? ©Zamie_06 Year started: 2019 Year ended:
