Cascade, Ocean Wave Blues

Some days, modern dating feels manageable. Other days, the unresolved boundaries, silent expectations, and gray areas of a situationship hit like a tidal wave you never saw coming.

Rifa Gayle L. Buenavista, a 21-year-old Tourism student, has gotten used to dealing with her heaviest days alone. Navigating the unspoken rules of "keeping it casual," she's convinced that wanting a real commitment is simply too much work for anyone to handle. Enter David Krassimir C. Mendoza, a 23-year-old Veterinary Medicine student and baseball player. Krassimir knows modern dating is messy, but in a culture defined by disposable connections and walking away the second things feel real, he has no interest in staying stuck in between.

A raw look at modern love-where emotional baggage, heavy waves, and the quiet agony of a situationship collide, and two people have to decide if what they have is worth defining before it washes away.
