Her Exception

Lyy_Villegas Romance

PROLOGUE
She had always been good at being alone. Not because she wanted to be, but because life taught her that needing someone was dangerous. So she learned to carry things quietly. The bills. The arguments. The expectations. The family problems no one else wanted to deal with. She became the girl who always said, “Kaya ko. ”And eventually, everyone believed her. Including herself. Until one day, a boy with an annoyingly bright smile walked into her life. He was silly. Too talkative. Too persistent. The kind of person who could turn the most serious moment into something that made her want to laugh—and then immediately regret laughing.He wasn't supposed to matter.She had no room for love. No time for it. And definitely no intention of letting someone close enough to see the parts of her she spent years hiding. But somehow, he stayed. When she pushed him away, he came back. When she said she was fine, he somehow knew she wasn't. And when she insisted she could carry everything herself, he didn't try to take the weight from her. He simply stood beside her and said, "Then let me carry it with you. "For the first time, she wondered what it would feel like not to be strong all the time. Maybe love wasn't about finding someone to save her. Maybe it was about finding someone who made her realize—she didn't have to save herself alone. And perhaps that was why, among all the people she could have met, he became her exception.
