Genre: Contemporary Romance | Language: English They didn't mean to fall for each other, to feel less alone. On a rainy night in Makati, Camia finds her boyfriend sitting across from someone else, hands entwined, laughter too easy. Sandro sees his fiancée with another man a few blocks away for the third and final time. The city is loud and blurred with heartbreak, and somewhere beneath the weight of it all, these two strangers crash into each other outside a quiet café, drenched and devastated. They don't know each other's names. But they understand each other's pain. One drink becomes two. One conversation becomes a confession. A moment of vulnerability opens a door neither of them knew they needed to walk through. Something shifts in the soft light of a dim bar and the silence between words. That night, what was meant to be a distraction became more profound. A look turns into a touch. A touch turns into something tender, something honest, something neither of them expected. They don't know each other's complete stories, but they both know what it feels like to be abandoned, to give too much, and to love someone who never really saw you. Inside a small hotel room, wrapped in the glow of city lights and the warmth of shared breath, Camia and Sandro find comfort in each other's arms, both physical and emotional. It's not perfect. It's not permanent. But it's real. And sometimes, real is enough. Hearts Like Ours is a slow-burning, intimate story about two people learning to trust again in a quiet space after heartbreak. It's about finding something beautiful in the aftermath. It's about healing, not all at once, and not entirely, but with someone who meets you in your ruins and stays to witness the rebuilding. It's not a love story about falling fast. It's a love story about falling true.
