Hindi man totoo ang relasyon ni Dorothea kay Clarence, hindi niya matanggap ang nangyari sa pagitan niya at ng lalaking hindi niya kilala matapos magising sa tabi nito sa isang estrangherong motel na hindi niya maalala kung paano niya napuntahan. Pinaghalong sakit at pagkadismaya sa sarili ang naramdaman niya at hindi niya maatim na harapin ang lalaking nagbigay ng kalayaan niya kaya mas pinili niyang lumayo rito. In her pursuit of distance between herself and the man who she genuinely loved despite their unusual connection, she found herself bearing the fruit of that one blurry night with a complete stranger. Iniisip na isang malaking pagtataksil iyon sa lahat ng kabaitan ni Clarence sa kanya, mas pinili ni Dorothea sa itago ang katotohanan tungkol sa kanyang anak. Pero paano kung lingid sa kanyang kaalaman, na ang lalaking pilit niyang tinatakbuhan ay patuloy ring humahabol sa kanya? Paano kung ang kanyang bawat paglayo, ang katumbas ay ang lalong paglalapit ng kanilang mga landas? Ano ang gagawin ni Dorothea kung isang araw, makita niya ang lalaking pilit niyang iniiwasan sa kanyang harapan, at itanong ang mga bagay na pilit niyang itinatago? Magagawa ba niyang magsinungaling? O ipagpatuloy ang nasimulang pagtakbo sa totoo?

Si Steel Reynandez ay kilala bilang ang MVP ng Miamiranda University. He was adored by many, not only because of his skills under the basketball ring, but also because of who he was. Maraming mga babae ang nagkakagusto rito dahil sa pagiging misteryoso nito. He was quiet, cold, and had no interest in women. He was basically an introvert who happened to be a skilled basketball player. Kung wala ito sa ilalim ng ring ay nagtatago ito sa madilim nitong silid. But that would soon change. Thanks to Kennary. Si Kennary ay anak ng labandera ng pamilya ni Steel, at malaki ang pagkakagusto nito sa binata. She was a top 1 student in her class and had big dreams for the future. Nagkaroon ito ng pagkakataong makuha ang cellphone number ni Steel dahilan kaya nagagawa nitong padalhan ng mga mensahe ang binata na noong una'y ikinapipikon pa nito. But eventually, Steel would get used to Kennary's existence and they would become regular text mates. Napansin ng ama ni Steel ang malaking pagbabago ng karakter ng binata, at noong nalaman nitong si Ken-Ken ang dahilan ay ni-kombinsi nito ang dalagang tanggapin ang part-time job bilang personal assistant ni Steel. In return, Steel's father would finance her college education. Ito na ba ang pagkakataon ni Kennary upang maging malapit sa iniirog? Mapapaamo ba nito at mapalalambot ang matigas na puso ng binata? And... would she and Steel go beyond text mates?

Ang first love ng asawa ko ay nag-post ng isang video sa kanyang social media. Sa video, nagpapasa silang dalawa ng playing card gamit ang kanilang mga labi. Nang mahulog ang card ay nagtagpo ang kanilang mga labi sa isang halik. Hindi sila huminto—parang nawala sa sandaling iyon, mapusok silang naghalikan sa loob ng isang minuto. Ang caption niya: [Still the same clumsy piggy! PS: Ang mga skills ni Steve ay kasing galing tulad ng dati!] Tahimik kong ni-like ang post at nag-iwan ng komento: [Congrats.] Sa sumunod na segundo, tumawag ang asawa ko, galit na galit na sumigaw, "Walang ibang babaeng kasing drama mo! Nakipaglaro lang ako kay Lanie. Bakit naman ummakto ka na parang baliw?" Noon ko napagtanto na ang pitong taon ng pag-ibig ay walang kahulugan. Oras na para umalis ako.
