Across The Hallway

Jeffrey Reyes had admired the woman across the hall for almost a year before finding the courage to speak to her. Christine Javier had built her life around ambition, discipline, and independence, leaving little room for romance. But one unexpected coffee meeting leads to a dinner neither of them saw coming, and two strangers slowly begin to discover each other’s worlds. As their relationship deepens, love is tested by family expectations, painful choices, and the weight of secrets that threaten to change everything. Sometimes, the greatest love stories aren’t about finding the right person—they’re about finding the courage to hold on before it’s too late. — Description from novelcodex.org
