She ghosted her... but falling for her was inevitable.
Juliana Faith Santos has one rule when it comes to relationships: run before it gets too real. And it works-mostly. Coming from a religious family that doesn't accept her liking girls, Jules has spent years perfecting the art of disappearing, especially when things get emotional. She can dodge texts, cancel plans, and pull the perfect "sorry, I'm busy" excuse without a second thought.
Then there's Eliana Rose Herrera. Cha's sweet, supportive little sister from a family that actually talks about their feelings. Lia is everything Jules isn't-open, warm, and totally out of her league. One coffee date (not a date), one karaoke night (not a date, seriously), and suddenly Jules is spiraling. She's pretty sure the feeling is mutual... but she's also terrified of everything that comes with it. So, she ghosts. Again. And again.
The problem? Lia isn't the type to give up that easily. Especially not on someone she likes. And especially not someone who keeps disappearing every time things start to get a little too real.
Now, Jules has to figure out how to come clean and stop running before she ruins the best thing to happen to her. Because falling in love with Lia wasn't the plan. But maybe, just maybe, it was always meant to happen.
