Fragment of What We Could've Been

Growing up believing that forever doesn't exist, Moira Xiovi Garcia kept her heart guarded and her expectations low.

She learned early that "forever" often turned into "for now,"
and that people who stayed were rare.
The only exception was Jerry the boy she met when she was young,
the one who called her "Cinde" like she was someone worth remembering.

Determined to survive college without drawing attention, Moira enters university believing she only needs one thing in life: to be successful

Then she meets Dior Alexander Javier.

The cold law student.
A perfectionist with red ink and sharper words.
The boy who reads her papers, corrects her mistakes, and watches her like he's trying to figure her out.

What she doesn't know is that Lex is also Jerry-
the boy from her past who never really left.

Somewhere between hallway encounters, rainy cafés, and arguments that feel too personal, Moira finds herself falling for the man in front of her,
without realizing she's falling for the boy she never forgot.

But as buried memories resurface and two identities collide, she's forced to choose between the anger of being kept in the dark...
or the truth that it was him all along, a fragment of what they've been.

A story about childhood promises, secret identities, slow burn romance, and the kind of love that finds its way back, even after years.
