Like Tears In The Rain

Winter, 2025. Seattle is shrouded in the cold mist of its endless rainy season. For the sake of a single recommendation letter to Stanford, Catherine Hale—a destitute but proud art student—knocks on the doors of the Highlands Manor to return a restored Song Dynasty porcelain. She intends to leave as quickly as she came, but instead stumbles into the world of William Sterling, the young, enigmatic patriarch of an old and powerful family. Cold, noble, and unfathomable, William draws her into a game of testing and maneuvering that plays out in the cracks between social class and self-esteem. From their first meeting on a rainy night to a silent rescue amidst the vanity fair of high society, Catherine fights to escape a glittering vortex she doesn't belong to, only to find herself falling step by step into William's gentle trap, lingering with the scent of cold cedar. In this rain-soaked city, a forbidden attraction blooms across the divide, unaware that fate has already secretly marked the price of its gifts.

Ngunit lumipas ang mga gabi, sa maraming beses itong bumabalik doon at tila naghihintay. Curiosity kicks in.

Pakiramdam niya ay nagkaroon ng kulay ang buhay niyang puno ng kalungkutan at katanungan. Hanggang sa tuluyan nahulog ang puso ni Luisa kay Levi. Nagkaroon ng kabuluhan ang lahat nang masuklian ng binata ang kanyang damdamin.
