Young, wild and free. Literal ang pagiging malaya ng isang Devon Valencia para gawin ang lahat ng gusto niya. Sa isang pitik lang ng daliri niya, nasa kamay na niya ang hinahangad niyang makuha, maliban na lamang ang atensyon ng isang binatang kabaliktaran ng ugaling mayroon siya. Isang maginoo,responsable at matipunong lalaki, Pablo Santino Regalado. Isang magsasaka na ang tanging hangad ay maiahon sa hirap ang kaniyang magulang. Sa edad na bente sais, naka-plano na ang gusto niyang mangyari sa buhay dahil maaga siyang namulat kung gaano kalupit ang realidad. Nakahanda siyang gawin ang lahat maibigay lang ang buhay na ipinangako niya sa pamilya. Ngunit sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang isip niya nang alukin siya ng isang trabaho na may magandang suweldo at wala siyang ibang gagawin kundi ang bumuntot sa magiging amo niya. Kung tutuusin, walang nakikitang problema ang binata sa pagiging isang bodyguard dahil batak naman ang kaniyang katawan at nakasisiguro siyang kaya niyang gampanan nang maayos ang trabahong ibinibigay sa kaniya. Subalit 'yong ideya na isang matapobre ang dalagang babantayan niya, tila mas gugustuhin pa niyang makasama ang mga kalabaw na ilalim ng araw. Kapag binato ka ng tinapay, batuhin mo ng palaman. Kapag nahulog ka sa taong hindi nagpapakita ng interes sa'yo, siguraduhing may bitbit kang hagdan.

By the time I return home from a business trip, it is past midnight. However, my wife, Celeste Beaumont, isn't home. A man's shirt that isn't mine is lying on the couch. When I call her, she tells me that she's working late at the office. "Whose shirt is it on the couch?" I ask, cutting straight to the point. She playfully scolds, "Who else would it be? It's a gift for you, so hurry up and try it on." I skeptically put it on and immediately feel how tight and uncomfortable it is across my shoulders. "This is an L, babe. I've always worn XL." Celeste runs a clothing company. She's the one who handles all my clothes and even uses my body measurements for her menswear line. There's no way she doesn't know my size. The line goes quiet for half a second before she thoughtfully says, "It's from my new menswear collection. "I had pieces custom-made for you and Felix, so I must've grabbed the wrong piece. I'll swap it tomorrow." A beat later, her voice carries a little sob as she continues, "Babe, I've been so exhausted without you these past few days. I've missed you so much…" It's past midnight. As I listen to the undeniable weariness beneath her affectionate, playful words, my heart aches in distress. I can't help chiding myself for overthinking. However, after hanging up, realization hits me. Her brother, Felix Beaumont, and I are about the same build. He's always worn XL.
