Our Maybes, Almosts, and Sanctuaries

For Jaile Santiago, surviving university is hard enough without unnecessary distractions.

Then she meets Jieno Salcedo.

Charming, infuriating, and far too easy to get attached to, Jieno is the kind of person Jaile knows better than to take seriously. Everyone has something to say about him, but instead of not letting herself get involved, she found herself enjoying his games.

And somewhere between crowded nights, familiar routines, and things neither of them are willing to name, Jaile begins to wonder if they are just a series of painful almosts and hesitant maybes, or if they are finally building the very sanctuary they've both been running from.
