"There's a falling star!" bulalas ni Mirabelle, saka mabilis na tumayo at mula sa likuran ni Karl ay isinuksok ang dalawang kamay sa bulsa ng shorts nito. "Ano'ng ginagawa mo?" Karl was stunned. "Making a wish," she answered softly, her cheeks against his back, her eyes closed. Hindi magawa ni Karl na magsalita. Nasasamyo niya ang hininga ng estranghera, like a soft wind brushing his ear. Her breasts on his back radiated warmth. Ang mga kamay nito sa loob ng mga bulsa ng shorts niya ay ilang pulgada na lang mula sa hindi nararapat. And they were in the middle of the ocean, on a starry night, stranded on her fishing boat!

Muntik nang mabundol ni Aidan ng sasakyan ang isang babaeng basta na lang tumawid sa kalsada. Dinala niya ito sa ospital and found out that she couldn't remember anything about herself, maliban sa sariling pangalan-Samantha. She was a looker even without makeup, and gorgeous kahit roba ng ospital ang suot. And Aidan had this unwanted feeling of protecting her and he hated himself for that. Dahil kung ang karanasan niya sa mga babae ang pag-uusapan, he was a lousy judge of character. He easily fell for a vulnerable act. At si Samantha'y gayon. Fragile, vulnerable... and very much terrified. Terrified? Why? He intended to know.

"Simula sa araw na 'to, sisiguraduhin kong kakainin mo ang lahat ng sinabi mo."
