Nanaig ang pag-ibig sa kung paano pinapakalma ng usok ng sigarilyo ang bawat paghinga niya, at sa kung paano pinapainit ang katawan niya ng alak. Lalo na sa kung paano siya nakakalipad sa ulap sa tuwing dumadaloy ang droga sa kanyang katawan... para makalimutan ang kasalanan niya sa nakaraan.

She's loving a man who will be in the end... either put her in jail again, or make her live on that island... never sober... but this time it won't be about the past... it would be all about him. _________ Comic Artist: Jean Cunningham (@forkingpen) Editor: MSan
