Ngunit sa mismong araw ng kasal nila ay tinalikuran siya nito dahil kay Agatha—ang babaeng ilang beses nang nagtangkang magpakamatay para makuha ang atensyon ng lalaki.

Pero walang nakakaalam na matagal na niyang minamasdan nang palihim si Bettina. Simula nang mapunta ito sa kanyang bisig, hindi na niya ito pinakawalan pa.

Just for you, Tina.” “Akala ko Evan hindi ka interesado sa babae?” “I’m not interested in anyone else. But you're the only exception.” Pero paano kung mahulog ang puso niya kay Evander?
