Where The Quiet Lives

✨ A slow-burn small-town love story filled with stolen glances, loud friendships, and heartbreak that lingers. ✨

When Liam Jace Villanueva is sent away from the city to "figure himself out" in the sleepy town of Laguna, the last thing he expects is to meet someone like Althea Mae Ramirez-sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, and stubbornly rooted in a world far quieter than his own.

Between the scent of sampaguita, the laughter echoing in jeepney rides, and the warmth of unexpected friendships, LJ begins to see life-and himself-differently. But as their worlds collide, so do the expectations of family, the weight of distance, and the cruel timing of goodbye.

🌿 He was just passing through. She was learning to stay. But love doesn't wait for the perfect moment.

A story about summer that changes everything, the kind of friends who never let go, and a love that dares to bloom even when it's not supposed to.
