Until They Were Found

Elliana Zayde Alcantara has spent most of her life believing that attractions are distractions.

As a church server, an achiever, and an older sister trying to keep herself together, she learned early how to hide the chaos inside her mind behind polite smiles and gleamy eyes. She avoids attachments, avoids attention, and most especially, she avoids boys.

Then there was Aciel Chasiah Tuazon.

A quiet yet surprisingly playful boy with intimidating eyes, awkward smiles, and a voice deep enough to leave echoes in Elliana's thoughts long after she said she doesn't care.

What starts with a simple interaction slowly becomes something far more dangerous... attraction.

Between every conversation neither of them fully understand, the two slowly find themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected.

Because maybe sometimes, the people who feel the most lost are simply waiting for someone to finally see them.

And maybe, just maybe, the day they met was also the day they were found.
