After A Long Time

Isang kasal na walang pag-ibig—iyon lang ang turing ni Hunter kay Ayla. At nang muling bumalik ang kanyang unang mahal, wala siyang pagdadalawang-isip na iwan si Ayla at burahin ang lahat ng mayroon sila. Pero hindi lahat ng iniwan ay nananatiling mahina.

I can’t decide between them. Cassie, does anyone tickle your fancy? You can have one.” As her cutlery clattered on the table, Cassie widened her eyes. “A-Are you for real?”
