Stella Tuazon has always been the girl who ran.
From her bullies. From her childhood trauma.
From the boy who tried—again and again—to love her right.
Vincent Bryce Vasquez has spent his whole life chasing after Stella. From the day she first walked into their classroom with shy eyes and tight braids, he knew she was different. She was bold when no one else was, kind even when the world wasn't. But she was also guarded, and when she left—first their school, then the country—he lost more than just a classmate. He lost his almost.
Five years after college, their worlds collide again at a reunion in Cebu. He's now a COO of a shipping company, she's a celebrated model just back from Paris. But under the glitz and grown-up façades lie unresolved arguments, unsent messages, and a breakup that ended with a slammed door and a broken heart.
Stella isn't sure she believes in second chances.
Vince never stopped hoping for one.
Now that he's found her again...
He's not letting her go without a fight.
