Evelyn lowered her gaze, trying to hide the tremble in her voice. “Thank you for walking with me… even when I wasn’t sure where I was going.” Theo nodded. “And thank you for letting me walk with you, even without a promised destination.” They stood there for a moment, in silence. There was no dramatic hug, no tears—just two people who understood that goodbyes aren’t always endings. Sometimes, they’re the purest form of love—letting someone go toward the path they’ve chosen for themselves. Evelyn turned to face the departure gate.

"Gotta be. 'Cause tomorrow we might get zilch. So tonight we grab what's there. Clutch what's ours. Value what we're battling for." I kissed him. Easy. Intense. Full of meaning. Like it could be the end kiss. Like it could be the last bit. 'Cause it could. Tomorrow ain't sure. Winning ain't locked. Living's a wish. Not a vow. But tonight I got this. Got him.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will get rid of this bad habit of mine.

Marahan niyang inayos ang isang hibla ng buhok ko sa likod ng tenga bago ngumiti nang maliit. “Matulog ka na.” “Goodnight.” “Goodnight, pretty girl.” Maybe love isn’t always fireworks.
