What if the noble pursuits we dedicate our lives to are the very ones that steal away our greatest prizes? Love or ambition-which survives when both demand everything? And what if, in chasing a future, you lose the person who once made you believe you still had a heart? Clara is the story of two young souls-one drawn into the world of medicine, the other into engineering, bound by love yet pulled apart by destiny. It is a tale of fire held too close, of the beauty and danger of connection, and of learning that sometimes the hardest lesson is not losing someone else, but learning how to find yourself again in the silence they leave behind.

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022
