Bukan perempuan bernilai tinggi, aku hanya seorang perempuan pengganggu yang beruntung karena diperlakukan bak ratu oleh Gabriel. Andai saja membangun hubungan bersama Gabriel semudah memasang ikatan tali ditangannya, namun kehidupan tak sesederhana itu. Dia bukan yang pertama atau yang terakhir, dia cinta yang datang sekali.
