"Here she is, fixing him while her own self is falling apart"

They say time stops when you meet the love of your life.
But for Ophelia White, it ran out.

Xavier Diego, a 17-year-old boy, takes his life one fateful night, leaving everyone in grief. Due to this, Ophelia's already messy life gets messier as the heavenly world entangles itself with her.

With a mission to save Xavier and the Angel of Death on her tail, will she outrun time?

Or will it outrun her?

OUTRUNNING TIME

"Thank you so much, Xavier. I really really really loved the journal. Thank you."

In his arms, I felt at home. Like the moon had finally returned to its sun. The warmth of his embrace made me forget about all my worries. His arms were hesitant at first, but in a moment or two, they wrapped tightly around me. One of his hands went to my hair as he stroked it gently.

He didn't know how much I loved this gift. How much I appreciated it. It wasn't the book that made me so emotional. His little gesture, his nervousness, and most of all his choice were what knocked these emotions right out of me.

He had seen the shriveled notebook I wrote my poems in that night. I snuggled into his shoulders and involuntary sniffed his hair. He smelled like fresh laundry. His clean scent felt like the ocean waves had washed over me. It felt like home.
