#402 in Poetry "No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing. At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. I dread the moments when the house is empty. If only they would talk to one another and not to me." ― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

She'd entered a self-proclaimed "hoe phase," a whirlwind of flirtation and fleeting connections, avoiding intimacy while simultaneously pushing men away. She could charm any guy she wanted, but the moment they reciprocated, her interest vanished. One thing was certain: Maria Joana had sworn off commitment, convinced that love only brought pain. Then Toshiya Faustino, a young man who valued genuine connection over shallow games, entered her life. He was the kind of guy who made your heart skip a beat, the type you'd dream of dating. But Toshiya was immune to Maria Joana's usual charm. He saw through her facade, sensing the vulnerability beneath her carefully constructed walls. Would Toshiya's genuine interest break through Maria Joana's defenses, or would their paths lead to a collision of conflicting desires and painful realities?
