SIGN OF THE TIMES

Charlie and Bryce were young, deeply in love, and completely certain that their relationship would last forever.

Back in high school, Charlie never cared about the difference between them. She came from a simple middle-class family, while Bryce was the only son of a wealthy and influential family. Despite living in two completely different worlds, they found something in each other that made those differences seem insignificant.

For Charlie, Bryce was simply the boy she loved.

For Bryce, Charlie was the person who made him feel like he could be himself.

But after graduation, everything changed.

Bryce was sent to the United Kingdom to continue his studies, while Charlie stayed in the Philippines to pursue her own dreams. What they thought would only be a temporary separation slowly became something neither of them knew how to handle.

Distance created misunderstandings. Silence replaced conversations. And eventually, Bryce disappeared from Charlie's life.

Years passed.

Charlie tried to move forward, but a part of her never truly forgot the boy she once loved. She had spent years convincing herself that Bryce had chosen his new life over her-that leaving her had been easy for him.

At twenty-six, Charlie has built a life of her own. She has learned how to stand on her own feet, how to hide the pain of her past, and how to live without expecting Bryce to come back.

Until he does.

After years abroad, Bryce returns to the Philippines with one purpose: to find Charlie.

When they finally see each other again, the memories Charlie had buried come rushing back.

Bryce knows he has no right to expect her forgiveness.

But he also knows one thing. He never stopped looking for her.

Now, two people who once promised each other forever are standing on opposite sides of the past.

Charlie wants answers. Bryce wants a second chance.

And between them lies the question neither of them has been brave enough to ask:

Can a love that ended years ago find its way back home?
