How it all began
Two strangers reached for the same old novel at a book fair in Intramuros. Seven years later, here we are.
CHAPTER 01 — 2019
How we met
A rainy Saturday at a book fair in Intramuros. Achilles reached for the last copy of a Pablo Neruda collection at the exact moment Celin did. They shared coffee instead of the book, and neither has stopped talking since.
CHAPTER 02 — 2025
The proposal
On a quiet sunrise picnic in Tagaytay, with the Taal volcano in the distance, Achilles asked the question he had carried for months. Celin said yes before he finished asking.
CHAPTER 03 — 2026
The promise
Two rings, one date, and a hundred small decisions made side by side. From tastings to seating charts, every detail of December 12 is a promise we are keeping together.
