Megan never expected much from life. Raised in a orphanage, she learned early on that love was something people left behind. But in the arms of her found family-Val, Hiro, Tita Elena, and a quiet home filled with warmth-she built a fragile sense of peace. That was enough... until a diagnosis reminded her that even borrowed time runs out.Then came Est-makulit, charming, and impossible to ignore. He made her laugh, made her believe, made her forget the ticking clock. For a while, he felt like a miracle. But miracles are fleeting, and Est left just when Megan needed someone to stay.Years later, just when she's stopped expecting anything, Sean walks into her life. Est's step-brother, carrying the same eyes but a heart that beats differently. Gentle. Constant. Unafraid to stay.This is Megan's story-a girl who came from nothing, lost everything, and still found love in the most unexpected places. It's a story of time: the time we waste, the time we're given, and the time we fight for. Of first loves that hurt and second chances that heal. Of the pain of being left behind, and the quiet beauty of finally being chosen.
