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?"

"I feel more than infinite with you." When Adrian died, Annara, a student library assistant, began hearing ghostly voices. Later in life, she meets Wicker, who resembles him, and this changes everything, making her realize that those strange voices were all in her head while revealing some of her secrets; that Adrian did not die the way everyone thought he'd be. *** Mula pagkabata, hanggang sa sila ay tumanda, hahawakan ni Annara ang pangakong binitawan sa kanya ni Adrian; na magsasama sila habangbuhay at siya lang ang tangi nitong mamahalin. They were so in love and so young. She used to write him letters, he always reserved a seat for her, and they both enjoy doing things that excite them. Annara's heart and soul were torn apart when Adrian died in a tragic accident when she was young. She begins hearing odd mystical voices in sorrow from him-voices she couldn't comprehend, as if all noises were emanating from beneath the ground. Some may find it distracting and unpleasant, but she finds it terrifying and intrusive. And then Wicker appeared, who resembled the man she had previously fallen in love with and poured her dearest affection into. He had a striking resemblance to Adrian. Parang pinagbiyak na bunga ang katangian at hitsura nila. He happened and changed everything. Nang dumating ang lalaking ito sa buhay niya, nanumbalik ang lahat ng alaala niya para kay Adrian. She began hearing lesser voices. Pawang binubura ng lalaking ito ang mga ingay na noo'y kinatatakutan niya. Those voices began to sing a different melody, with an unusual tone she hadn't heard in a long time. Could he be the one who helps her get rid of these voices, or will he make things worse? You may hear different sounds everywhere, every day. But it is somehow unsettling if you could hear strange voices of the dead.
