A Borrowed Yesterday

Lianna Phoebe Argonza has her life planned down to the last detail.

She's a third-year nursing student, very practical about things, and also the kind of person who actually keeps a list for everything. Like everything. Even the traits of the man she plans to spend forever with. For her, love is not a risk; it is a decision carefully made.

But plans are fragile things.

Everything shifts when she ends up moving into the home of the one person who disrupts her peace without even trying-Third Alexander Ybanes. Out of necessity, she agrees to live under the same roof, temporarily, just long enough to retrieve her lost notes and end that agreement.

Third is everything she would never choose: infuriatingly cheerful, endlessly talkative, and far too entertained by her carefully structured checklist.

Yet behind his effortless smile is a burden no one notices.

When his younger sister, Elli, grows attached to Lian and refuses to let her go, what was meant to be a simple arrangement slowly turns into something far more complicated. Under the same roof, Lian begins to see the quiet truths behind Third's laughter-the sacrifices he hides, the sleepless nights he endures, and the fears he never speaks of.

As days turn into memories and strangers begin to feel like home, Lian is forced to question everything she believes about love, plans, and permanence.

Because sometimes, the life you never planned is the one that changes you the most.

And sometimes, borrowed yesterday becomes something meant to stay as if it was always yours to keep.
