When a scarred young woman finds hope in the warmth of a man who sees beyond her scars, she begins to reclaim her spark-until fate tears them apart. Now, she must choose between embracing the solace within the darkness or chasing the gleam that once led her home but now threatens to burn her even more.
***
Deprived of guidance and support from her parents, Canary Paige Costales stumbled her way through life, barely able to sustain her faint light. But just when her world seemed to be collapsing around her, fate led her to Gideon Yves Alcaranze-a man who became her glimmer of hope and a radiance of warmth. For the first time, she believed she had found her path-a road lit with comfort and love, something she had longed for all her life.
Yet, just like the stars, some lights were never meant to shine forever. As her spark finally ignited, the gleam that once guided her slowly withered. Darkness crept back in, yearning to consume her once more.
But how will she find her way out? Will she even try to escape, or will she let herself succumb?
And if she dares to chase the gleam that leads back to him...
Will he still be waiting?

I Like You
Change, Changes, and Changed are similar yet nonetheless distinct words. Words that have the same meaning as resulting, having, or making something different. And in life? That's INEVITABLE. My life suddenly changed when you came into it. You, who make me feel as though I could melt and drown in your blue ocean-like eyes. You, who smile as bright as the sun, make everything feel alright. You, who were always there right by my side whenever I feel down and lost, scared and lonely, excited and happy. You, who unchained my locked heart when I thought it would never be unshackled again. You, who made me realize that life is bearable when you are not alone, that I can get through it, if I surrounded myself with love. You. Yes, You. The person that I liked, and the person that broke my trust and wasted my love. But I still hope that you, who did that, will have peace and happiness in your life. - to whom I liked, from Maica ✖✖✖ Language: TagLish By: TheBestForGoddess Started on: October 26, 2017 Published on: December 04, 2018 Completed on: March 26 , 2025 Status: CompletedComplete
