𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗥𝗘: Taglish · Romance · Coming-of-age · Angst · Situationships · Forced Proximity
She confessed. He stayed silent.
Now they're stuck in the gray space between almost and never.
Vera thought turning 18 would mean something. freedom, clarity, maybe even love. But when Erik, her so-called "18th," rejects her after years of unspoken feelings and quiet yearning, she's forced to confront a truth more painful than heartbreak: some people are never really yours, no matter how much you wish they were.
In a world of shared glances, missed chances, and aching silence, Vera tries to rewrite her story-from charity trips to city lights, awkward hotel rooms to new campus cafés. And just when she thinks she's moved on, life throws her back into Erik's orbit.
Because the past has a way of showing up-especially when you're not ready.
