"Pwede bang ako naman, Blaze? Pwede bang ako naman ang piliin mo?” nagmamakaawang wika ni Jane sa harapan ni Blaze. “Don't get me wrong, nagpakasal ako sa 'yo hindi dahil kamukha mo na si Gizelle kundi para manahimik na ang mga magulang natin. Kahit pagbali-baliktarin mo man ang utak ko, si Gizelle pa rin ang mamahalin ko. Siya at siya lang. Apelyido ko lang ang gamit mo pero kahit kailan hindi mo ako magiging pagmamay-ari! ” Para kay Jane, ang pagsusuot ng maskara lamang ang tanging sagot upang tanggapin siya ng lalaking mahal niya. Ngunit kailan nga ba siya matatanggap? Hanggang saan ang kaya niyang tiisin? Hanggang saan pa ang kaya niyang gawin sa ngalan ng pag-ibig? Hanggang kailan siya magpapanggap bilang ibang tao? May patutunguhan pa rin kaya ang pagmamahal niya para kay Blaze?
