She's dying, but no one knows.
He's falling, but he's already too late.
Mary Eve Carballo a guitarist, dreamer, fighter is quietly counting down her days. Strong on the outside, aching on the inside, she hides her terminal illness behind the power of music and a fearless smile. To the world, she's vibrant. To herself, she's fading.
Then comes Renz "Ryle" Bartolome-quiet, observant, and distant. Not a party boy, not a heartbreaker, just someone who learned to stay on the sidelines. Rich, yes-but never defined by it, never truly attached to the noise around him.
He's not used to chasing anyone.
He's used to letting things pass.
Until he meets Eve.
And suddenly, staying feels heavier than leaving.
Suddenly, he wants to understand the silence she keeps choosing.
But how do you love someone, who keeps pretending she's just tired- when deep down, she's already preparing to disappear?
