Folded Like Notes
Eliana Izel Mendoza once believed she had her life perfectly mapped out. Back in senior high, she was the composed student whose world revolved around plans, deadlines, and quiet ambitions. She wasn't supposed to fall for anyone....especially not for Laurence Gomez, the boy whose calm presence felt like a secret she was never meant to keep. Years later, Eliana's life looks exactly as she hoped: successful, independent, and built on the steadiness she once craved. A licensed architect living on her own, she has traded school corridors for city skylines. Yet beneath the rhythm of her carefully managed days, something feels unfinished. When a chance encounter with Laurence's mother reconnects her to the Gomez family, Eliana finds herself unexpectedly facing the past she thought she'd outgrown. Laurence-now a pilot who's returned home for good, reappears, holding not just the plans for his family's new house, but pieces of a memory she's long tucked away. As construction begins, boundaries blur between professional and personal, and the quiet tension that once lived between them resurfaces, more mature, but no less complicated. Meanwhile, Gavino Leander Ramirez, her old constant, lingers on the edges of her present life, steady and loyal, but never quite crossing the line she's drawn. In a story that folds between past and present, Folded Like Notes traces the slow unraveling of emotions once left unread. Because sometimes, the things we bury in our youth don't disappear....they wait for the right time, and the right person, to unfold again.
The Oleander (Eulogy of Us Series #4)
'Madaling magsalita at mag-desisyon dahil wala ka sa sitwasyon' but Vivienne says otherwise. For her, being in a relationship shouldn't remove someone's rationality, hindi normal maging tanga sa pag-ibig. It shouldn't make you size down just to fit into the relationship. It shouldn't make you question your worth at higit sa lahat, dapat marunong kang magpalaya. But what if love doesn't arrive in a way that's logical? What if it comes unexpectedly, slowly blurring your boundaries until you don't even notice you're already compromising pieces of yourself? What if you wake up one day and realize you've been patient for too long, understanding for too much, forgiving for things you swore you never would? What if it became a poison that lingers in your veins, tempting you with its beauty even as it slowly destroys you? What if loving someone makes you brave...but also a little foolish and selfish? Because it's easy to say you'll never beg for bare minimum. It's easy to promise you'll walk away at the first red flag. It's easy to believe you'll choose yourself every single time. Until it's you, until it's their voice that softens your anger, until it's their hands that feel like home...until walking away starts to feel like you're turning your back on everything you once struggled to hold together. So what if the hardest part isn't loving but learning you have to let go?
