The Constant That Waited (Jimenez Series #1)

Some stories don't end when people walk away.
They wait.

Dahlia Celestine Uy was once a FEU SHS HUMSS student who learned what it meant to be left without closure. Ghosted at an age where answers felt necessary, she carried the silence with her into adulthood.
Five years later, she becomes Ms. Dahlia, a young teacher at FEU High School under the HUMSS faculty-professional, composed, and carefully distant from her past. Her world is orderly until a new teacher arrives: Josiah Azriel Galvez, a licensed engineer applying as a Physics teacher.

He is familiar.

And he is the same person who once disappeared.
As faculty meetings, shared classes, Intrams competitions, and quiet encounters blur the lines between past and present, Dahlia is forced to confront a question she thought she had already answered:
Do people deserve second chances-especially the ones who left without explanation?
