They've known each other for twenty years.
From high school hallways in Manila to quiet ryokan weekends in Tokyo, from midnight emails to lost letters never sent, Donato Antonio Laxa Pangilinan and Belinda Angelito Mariano were always almost something. First loves who never quite got the timing right.
Now in their mid-thirties, Donato is a celebrated architect in Singapore. Belinda is a lawyer in Manila - disciplined, distant, and carrying the weight of every unspoken word.
