SYNOPSIS
Angela Dean Santos or Angie, a third-year nursing student, thought her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse ended the moment she failed two of her major subjects. Devastated and full of self-doubt, she prepared to let go of everything she had worked so hard for. But her mother, strong-willed and full of faith she refused to accept defeat.
In an attempt to redeem herself, Angie transfers to a new institution. It's unknown, unfamiliar, and intimidating. It is during enrollment, when you are tired and anxious, that fate plays its first card. Short by a few thousand and about to give up, she meets a tall, soft-spoken guy with chinito eyes and black-rimmed glasses...with the same name as her or that what she assumed . Without hesitation, he covers her missing fee, brushing it off as no big deal.
As classes begin and life unfolds, Angie finds herself balancing her academic struggles, rebuilding her confidence, and wondering why the presence of this guy feels like an anchor in her storm. Slowly, she discovers that healing doesn't just come from starting over, but also from the people who enter our lives exactly when we need them.
In a journey of second chances, late-night study sessions, and heartbeats between silence, Angie learns that sometimes the person who helps you stand again... shares more than just your name.

THROUGH THE CRACKS
Behind the perfectly ironed shirts and calm sarcasm is a heart that never healed. A boy who watched his mother die. A son left behind by a father who built a new life in a new country without looking back. A man who learned how to stay strong by staying alone. He became the man everyone leans on but no one truly knows. The one who cracks a joke in the middle of a storm just to make others feel less broken even when he's the one drowning. But what happens when someone walks into his life ,not loud, not demanding , just... seeing him? Someone who doesn't just notice the cracks. Someone who looks through them and stays. Until someone walks into his life who doesn't fear his silence. Someone who reads between his pauses and sits with his shadows instead of chasing them away. She doesn't try to fix him. She just sees him in the places where he cracked and never told anyone he bled. She doesn't ask him to open up. She just stays open. And suddenly, the silence he once found comfort in feels too loud. And for the first time, He begins to wonder: What if being understood is more terrifying than being alone?
