Description
Everyone knew him - intelligent, admired, the face of his department. But she never looked his way. Ethan Lao had it all: top of his class, famous among engineering students, and effortlessly charming. Most girls noticed. Lila Santos didn't. Loud, passionate, and laser-focused on her accounting board exam, Lila was the kind of girl who spoke her mind, filled rooms with her energy, and had no time for college crushes. Their worlds crossed through mutual friends, campus visits, and fleeting moments - but she never even knew his name. He sent her Facebook friend requests. Twice. She didn't respond. Then came the pandemic. Life slowed down. Screens lit up. And one day, Ethan saw her again - in a Facebook story. Still vibrant. Still unaware. "Do you think she'd mind if I sent a wave?" he asked. This isn't a story about love that bloomed. It's about admiration left unread. About falling for someone... who never even saw you coming. This is "Falling Without Landing."
