STILL, IT'S ALWAYS YOU

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

A slow-burn childhood best friends romance built on years of history, quiet devotion, and unspoken love. A love shown through routine, consistency, and presence rather than labels. Two people acting like lovers without ever saying the words-because the fear of losing each other is stronger than the courage to name what they already have. He has her keycard. He knows her favorite drink. He carries her world on his shoulders. Everyone sees the perfect couple, but to the world, they are just best friends. In a life built on silent promises and shared routines, Xander is the structure and Sandra is the vision. But when the lines start to blur, can they survive the risk of finally naming what they've always been?

AUTHOR'S MESSAGE

Hi, everyone!

Welcome to my very first story here on Inkitt, "Still, It's Always You."

Actually, first time ko lang talagang magsulat at mag-publish ng story, kaya pasensya na agad if may mga parts na medyo magulo o confusing para sa inyo. Since wala rin akong editor na tumitingin sa gawa ko, please expect some grammatical errors, typos, or punctuation mistakes along the way. I'm still learning and trying to find my own rhythm as a writer, kaya sana ay pagpasensyahan niyo muna ang mga imperfections ng story na ito.

I want you to know that I really did my best to create a beautiful story for Sandra and Xander. Kahit alam kong hindi ito perfect sa pagkaka-deliver, bawat chapter at bawat linya ay isinulat ko nang may puso at matinding effort. Gusto ko lang talagang ma-share sa inyo ang mundong binuo ko para sa kanila, at sana ay maramdaman niyo 'yun sa bawat scroll niyo.

Sana ay samahan niyo ako sa journey na ito hanggang dulo. Your patience and support mean everything to me. Feel free to leave comments or votes it would really help me grow and improve as a storyteller.

Thank you so much for giving this story a chance. I hope you find a home in Sandra and Xander's world, just like I did.

Happy reading!

Love,

Tricia
