Effie has always been an observer of the sky, of the world passing by, and lately, of Nate. Effie's life has always been quieter than most, shaped by a heart that beats too slowly, too uncertainly. What starts as innocent curiosity turns into something like more. The more she learns about him the way he lingers at the bookshop, the notes he scribbles in the annotations of his books, the moments he thinks no one notices the more she wishes she were a part of his world.
Yet Effie knows love isn't something she can afford to risk, not when time is a luxury she doesn't have. But as their paths finally cross, she begins to wonder. Can you leave a mark on someone's life without ever being in it?

[THEN] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon
There are some things that aren't worth keeping. Nastia Kahlila Quijano has been convincing herself that walking away was the right thing she did. Even if it's already been three long years ever since she left. But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)Complete
