She’s worn one multiple times sa pool nila noon, pero ngayon ay ibang usapan. Sa dagat. Open space. At nandoon si Aiden. Sa kanila ay mag-isa lang anman siya noon pa kaya hindi siya kinakabahan, pero iba naman ata ngayon. And not just that—everything between them had changed. She wasn’t just a girl anymore in his life.

I can't just suddenly tell her that I got married to a stranger I met on the side of the hotel (where my wedding with Dave was supposed to be held).
