After transferring to Clark High School, Anella Victoriane Reistre was able to start a new, significant life. She didn't know that studying there would be precious, for her dull life would change into something colorful. Meeting people she never thought would be part of her life was unexpected. But what she didn't expect most is that Jace Bryan Prama, her friend's brother, had a connection with her even before they met. They got closer, which led them to enter into a romantic relationship, but eventually separated due to some things she thought needed to be settled independently. Then they met each other again, but this time with a better version of themselves. This time, they will make everything work. This time, they will strengthen the bond they have so that when life gets tough again, there will be no choice but to hold on and conquer it together.

Now I'm stuck in the space between this mess. Between a God I've always loved and a man I never asked for... Pero bakit habang tumatagal parang hindi na makuhang lumayo pa ng mata ko sa pagtingin sa kaniya. The more I try to push him away, the more he starts to feel like a hymn I never meant to memorize. And maybe... just maybe... He's been searching for something sacred, too. How do you choose between a calling you've always known... and a love you never saw coming? 05/22/25
