Running After Daylight

Ligaya Fae Lacuesta is everyone's sunshine. A psych major, a mental health advocate, and the girl whose smile lights up entire rooms even on days she barely holds herself together.

In a world that expects her to stay bright, she hides her cracks behind soft words and perfect warmth.

Ni minsan ay hindi naghangad ng sukli si Ligaya sa kabaitang ibinibigay sa taong nakapalibot sa kanya.

Sa tuwing tinatanong siya kung kamusta siya, wala siyang ibang isasagot kundi "ayos lang". She grew up being the strength provider. The matured daughter.

But Bien Nikolai Fernandez has mastered the art of noticing. Of listening to what isn't said, of catching the tremble in a smile, of remembering what loss feels like. And when their paths cross, he sees her. Not the persona, not the advocate, but the girl who's slowly losing her light.

When their worlds collide, their love begins softly.

But love isn't enough to stop burnout or erase trauma. So they ran after daylight...each chasing a different horizon.
