Liazabel A. Cabildo has loved freely her whole life-even when it meant loving her best friend, Angelo, in silence. When the time comes that she had to move on, Lia leaves the country, believing distance is the only way to heal. Overseas, there was Clyde, Angelo's cousin-a man running from his own pain. In a place far from home, they become each other's quiet refuge, finding comfort in shared wounds and unspoken understanding. But love is never simple. He holds back out of loyalty for their family. Lia hesitates out of fear of breaking what should not be broken. Now, caught between healing and heartbreak, Lia must choose: Is love something you protect by letting go-or something you risk everything for? Can she free fall in to love when the man behind her granted prayers is her bestfriend's cousin?

"Alam kong kahit saglit ay bumalik ka rin sa dati. Sa panahong malayo sa ngayon. Kasabay ko ay inaalala mo ang mga araw natin sa kolehiyo. Ang mga gala natin sa tuwing walang propesor. Ang mga gabing wala tayong tulog dahil ipapasa na ang ating mga takda at doon pa lang tayo gagawa. Ang mga araw na kumakain tayo ng karneng nakalutang sa mantika. Ang mga panahong umiiyak ka dahil sa kasintahan mo dahil sinaktan ka nanaman niya at lagi kang tumatakbo papunta sa akin para patahanin ka."
