It's absurd! Para sa kanya, isa iyong kalokohan at alam niya sa sarili niya na hindi isang kaibigan ang pagtingin niya sa binata. From friendship, he offered her to be his lover. Sino siya para tanggihan ang offer na iyon, lalo na kung nasa kalagitnaan sila ng mainit na pagtatalik habang minumungkahi nitong maging lover siya nito.

Nararamdaman niyang may puwang siya sa puso nito at ganoon din naman ito sa puso niya. And then one day, her illness decided to be the antagonist of their love story. She has to leave for his sake. Ang hindi niya inakala na sa pag-alis niya ay kasabay niyon ang pagkawala ng memorya niya. At sa pagbabalik ni Lockett, mapapatunayan kaya ni Creed na totoo ang kasabihang 'the heart sees what the eyes can't'?
