T.I.M.E - To Invest Myself Emotionally
"The thing with love is that it doesn't exist. It's an illusion your mind makes up just so you can have false hope that being alone is a mere lie. But in reality, being alone is an ugly truth and love is a beautiful lie. To truly love, I would have to invest myself emotionally which takes time. And I'm not ready to do that yet."
Mia Manuelo's life gets turned upside down when her mom is mysteriously murdered. Her dad becomes a borderline alcoholic and neglects her. Her boyfriend of three years breaks her heart shortly after, leaving her alone with just the thoughts in her head. She becomes cold and numb to the world, refusing to ever let herself feel pain again. But what happens when Vincent Weston comes into her life, making her slowly feel again? Will she finally find it in herself to love again? Or will she give in to the loneliness in her heart?
