On the brink of time

Ryzza never felt the need to experience romantic love. She never longed to be courted or sought anyone's attention. From a young age, she had always been independent, determined to figure everything out on her own.

She never questioned why. And she never felt the need to understand the reason behind her hyper-independence. She was content by herself.

Or at least, that's what she believed.

Then there was Kairo.

He was the only person who made her realize she needed someone. Not just as a friend, but as someone she could imagine spending the rest of her life with.

But because of her hyper-independence and perhaps a touch of insecurity, she never gave him any sign of how she truly felt. So he never knew.

She loved being alone. She cherished her own company, her own space. But life has a way of changing everything. On the brink of time, the things you once believed could no longer remain the same.
