Chasing Comets, Finding you (DreamHighSeries#1)

DreamhighSeries#1

Ivy never thought of what the future would look like for her; she always felt that dreams weren't meant for someone like her-someone who moved quietly, blending into the background while everyone else seemed so sure of who they wanted to be. She felt left behind, lagi. Parang habang ang iba may direction, may plans, may passion, siya... she was just trying to survive the day without feeling lost.

All her life, she reached for love with trembling hands-lagi siyang napupunta sa fragments, shadows of what could have been. People stayed just long enough to leave, just long enough to hurt. She learned to live with almosts, to survive on devotion that was always half-offered, half-felt. But beside her-quiet, constant-there was him. Her best friend. The one person who was never halfway. Solid as earth, gentle as morning light. In a world full of maybes, he was her certainty. And because of that, he became untouchable to her-someone she promised herself she would never want more from, kahit minsan sumisikip na ang puso niya sa katahimikan.

But promises fracture in the quiet hours, when his smile lingers too long, when his nearness stirs something unnamed. His presence does not simply comfort-it ignites, it unravels, it calls to her.
