Selene Suarez was once the art world's rising star-brilliant, celebrated, unstoppable. Then came the scandal, the arrest, and a prison sentence for a crime she didn't commit. Now, she's free but hollow, hiding from a world that watched her fall and moved on without her. She doesn't paint. She doesn't trust. And she definitely doesn't let people in. Then Haven Mondragón shows up-relentlessly cheerful, wildly persistent, and completely unaware of the walls Selene has spent years building. She's supposed to be straight. She's supposed to be just another visitor who leaves. But she keeps coming back. Haven is everything Selene isn't: open, soft, and full of reckless belief in second chances. And the more Selene resists, the more their connection starts to feel like something real. Selene doesn't want to feel anything. Haven doesn't know how to stop. But when boundaries blur and truths unravel, they're both forced to face the one question that could change everything: What if the person you're running from is the one who makes you feel whole again?

What we have is just now. As long as she loves me. As long as she wants to be with me. As long as there is 'we'. I love her! But the rainbow is not just a blend of vibrant and bright colors. It doesn't even stay for a long period of time-- just enough for us to see and in a fleet of time is gone, leaving us wondering if it's real. A rainbow doesn't have black and white. It wasn't just like that. Same as love. Same as us. There were times that i want to give her up. Not because my love did fade, rather, my love is too much. Too much that letting her go is the only option left for her to choose me without hesitation, without guilt, freed of lies. I want her to grow, to weigh things as it is. I want her to make me feel that being with me is her choice. I want her to realize that i am hers and that she have to surrender herself to me as well. I want her to love me because that is the way she feels and not because it was the safest way. Being with her is paradise. It was a mixture of colored pastel. It was too vibrant to explain. But at a sudden twist of downs and ups, we are shaking. Loving her has become my weakness. The weakening thought of losing her when I fuck up is too much to run me insane. I'm overreacting perhaps. But being with her, means walking in a narrow-road of heaven. There's no security, no assurance. One wrong move, and I'll be slipping away. Just in the never ending pain of darkness, of solitude, of self-struggle. Loving her has become my addiction. I couldn't get enough of it. But so they say, what's too much can cause harm. Maybe I'm loving her too much that she finds it hard to breathe when i'm around. But yes, it is just a wishful thinking; things that I'll surely not going to say to her because i will never ever earn the courage to say so. We are just nothing but a 'fateful coincidence.'
