New York Rush

Clarinda Riyana Resurreccion never expected to fall in love in a place she was never meant to stay. New York was supposed to be temporary-a scholarship, a dream, a fleeting chapter before she returned home to the Philippines. She had her life mapped out, every step carefully planned. But then came Garrett Asher Myers-unexpected, effortless, and impossible to ignore. With him, the sleepless nights, city lights, and coffee-stained mornings felt different. Suddenly, she wasn't just living in New York-she was feeling it.

But time was never on their side. No matter how much she wanted to hold on, reality kept reminding her of the goodbye waiting at the end of it all. Leaving meant returning to the life she had always known, fulfilling the promise she made to herself. And yet, as she boarded that plane, something inside her whispered-what if she was leaving more than just a city behind?

Some love stories are written in fleeting moments, in places that were never meant to last. But what if some are meant to find their way back, no matter how far they go?
