She was laser-focused with the top priority on her list. Adrianna Venaventura only wanted to pass the bar. But how could a night out suddenly change her course? It wasn't in her plans to meet anyone, wasn't in her plans to entertain, and most definitely, it wasn't in her plans to engage to a certain relationship-for whatever they call it. Something must have transpired for them to finally meet, someone must have trampled and messed with the strings and she knew it wasn't supposed to turn out the way it did. But Andy wasn't above resisting the call. She doesn't know why, which, or who, but somehow, that Wednesday night, something outside her list must have turned up again beyond her control, keeping her off track. It was a free fall when the strings were suddenly becoming undone. And if there's one thing she's good at, it's working hard beyond any circumstance to pursue what she wants head on, straight on.

Petals began looking a hue darker every time she sees him. Hyacinth's job as a student nurse is to assist patients and follow orders from superiors, not to roll her eyes every chance she gets to see their resident doctor, Dr. Altheron Santimera. But, truly, sunshines do make flowers bloom. Maybe it's because of his shy smile, his delectable dimple, his soft spoken voice, his adorable way of using emojis, and his gold-plated heart.
