"Oh princess... love was never my religion but I'd devote my whole life to you." Lumaki si Amira na hindi man lang naranasan na makatanggap ng pagmamahal mula sa kanyang mga magulang. Palibhasa ay madalas nauutal at tahimik, mas pinapaburan ng kanyang mga magulang ang kanyang Ate Alysa, na maliban sa napakaganda ay napakatalentado pa.

I gasp, surprised and he leans towards me. I catch the scent of his cologne and the faint scent of the cigarette smoke, lingering around him. But underneath it, there’s the scent of earth and rain. I see his muscles flexing under the thin linen of the shirt. I also notice the outlines of a scar, running down his forearm. I imagine his hands on me, his lips on mine.
