"Gusto mong kontrolin ang bawat kilos ko. Gusto mo, sa'yo lang ang attention ko. You look at me like you own me! Pero kapag nasa loob tayo ng campus, ano? You treat me like a total stranger! Isasampal mo sa mukha ko 'yang code of ethics at professional boundaries na 'yan!" I laughed bitterly, wiping a stray tear that escaped my eye. "You refuse to cross the line properly, Anne.

Must be! He deeply hates nosy people with a burning passion as much as he hates anything that is related to wedding. Yeah, he was being unreasonable, some people say.

He immediately felt the spark. Dravis was naturally aloof to others because of his traumatic experience from his childhood. His disorder made him vulnerable to bullies. Naging defense mechanism ng binata ang pagiging cold at walang kibo sa ibang tao para hindi na ma-bully pang muli. Tanging ang pamilya niya lang at ang best friend na si Sheldon ang naging mabait sa kaniya sa malupit na mundong ginagalawan. And there came Calista. She did not judge his condition and treated him nicely.

Wala na akong nagawa nang kumapit ito sa braso ko at hinila papunta sa upuan naminh dalawa na magkatabi.
