Ashes Between Us

In the sleepless heart of Makati, a quiet café-bookshop stands tucked away from the chaos of the city. Behind its counter is Caius Garcia, a man of few words whose stillness feels like a refuge of its own. His life is simple, measured, and hidden from the rush of the world.

One stormy night, Lila De Guzman steps into his café. Mischievous yet calm, kind yet guarded, she is a woman shaped by absence-neglected in her childhood, she has learned to laugh away the weight of her silence. In Caius's quiet presence, she discovers an anchor she never expected.

Together, they carve out a small universe in the middle of the city-late-night coffee, conversations over old books, fleeting moments that turn ordinary days into something unforgettable.

But love is never as simple as it seems. As their bond deepens, shadows from the past begin to resurface, testing the strength of what they've built.

Set against the restless streets of Manila, Ashes Between Us is a tender, bittersweet love story about two souls who find each other in the most unexpected of places-and the silence that lingers long after.
