Hindi si Eunice ang klase ng babaeng naniniwala sa forever kahit pa taken siya. At kahit pa apat na taon na siyang may boyfriend, sobrang bitter pa rin niya pagdating sa usapang love life. Nang magtagpo ang landas nila ng idol niyang romance novelist na si Gregory Troye, hindi niya inaasahang matatawid ang mga limitasyong ibinigay niya sa sarili para lang sa inaakala niyang tunay na pagmamahal. Sa sandaling halos ipamukha na sa kanya ng tadhana na mali siya ng mga naging desisyon sa buhay, mapaninindigan pa kaya niya ang paniniwalang walang happy ending kung ang inaakala niyang ending ay magdudulot sa kanya ng tunay na kahulugan ng salitang "happy?" Para matapos ang kuwentong hindi naman tungkol sa dalawang taong nagmamahalan, pero tungkol sa love; ano nga ba ang kailangan niyang gawin para matapos ang kanyang pinapangarap na collab? At sa di-inaasahang pagsasama ng dalawang taong hindi naman ganoong nagtagal, mahahanap niya sa di-inaasahang pagkakataon ang perpektong kasagutan sa tanong na "Naranasan mo na bang magmahal?"
