Isolde Amara De Santos has always had a crush on her friend, Art Emmanuel Cervantes. It started during their grade eleven intramurals and stayed with her until college. It was just a simple crush, something she never planned to act on.
But everything changed when a joke turned into something more and they crossed a line they never meant to cross.
What they have now is not a relationship. It is a secret friends-with-benefits setup, built on late nights, hidden moments, and one rule they both agreed on: no strings attached. No labels. No feelings. Just something physical and temporary.
Amara tells herself it does not mean anything, that she can handle it. But when Art is caught with someone else, she starts to question everything. If it was never supposed to matter, then why does it hurt so much?
