On Christmas Eve at La Union beach, families were having fun playing games and laughing 😄. Celine watched her family enjoying themselves by the shore 🎤🍻. She felt a bit lonely seeing her older brother and cousins with their partners, and wondered what it would be like to have a boyfriend ❤️.
To keep herself busy, she looked at her phone and saw Andre's post on Facebook 📱. She liked his photo and followed him on Instagram 📸. Two days later, back home, Celine saw a picture of Andre's family on Instagram. She decided to reply to his story and start a conversation 💬.
