In the busy, bustling streets of Manila City, Celestine Aragon and Luke Villacorte have been friends for as long as they can remember. Celestine-known as the "Elegant Trace" among her circle-grew up in a world of business deals and polished poise, with her businessman father, former teacher mother, and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins who always have her back. Luke-dubbed the "Romantic Classic" who sees poetry in worn-out clothes and salt-stained hands-has roots tied to the sea and distant shores: his seafarer father working overseas as an OFW, his nurse mother holding their home together, and siblings chasing dreams of their own.
Since they were kids, their promises were simple: they'd never drift apart, and they'd always stay together in the city they call home. But when Celestine learns that Luke's family may not be staying in Manila much longer, their quiet world begins to shift. There are words left unsaid, feelings tucked away like letters never mailed, and a goodbye that remains unwritten.
