"Secrets We Never Shared"
Mikaela Mendez is used to keeping things to herself.
When she was a child, most children her age would tell their parents their day at the dining table. She would eat silently and would rather hole herself up in her room if she had one.
She learned early that sharing would rather burden others than do good because nobody truly pay attention; rather, they might misunderstand it. Better keep it to yourself; others have better things to do than listen to you.
Hence, when she enters college, she expects to suffer, survive, and maybe eventually graduate. Being in a relationship is the last thing on her mind.
Love. Trust. Loyalty. Honesty. Kindness. Commitment. Communication. Emotional vulnerability. Compassion. Understanding. Willingness. Opening yourself up for another person to see. Not her thing. Sounds tiring. It takes a lot of time.
She never expected Migael Delgado. A calm, honest, confident, and persistent guy who is a year older than her.
But life in college is short. People you know always parted ways to do the things they studied.
Georgina is homeless and broke, and her ex-boyfriend came to her rescue by letting her temporarily stay in his house. But with the two of them living together, how big is the chance that their old flame will be rekindled?
***
After being thrown out of her apartment, Georgina has nowhere else to go. Her dwindling options lead her to call Dwight, her ex-boyfriend, to ask for his help even if it is against her will. She promises him that the set-up is temporary, but fate has got other plans. Living with him makes her reminisce not only the unpleasant circumstances that once broke them apart but also the love they once felt. Will their old flame be rekindled, or is their story bound to end up with a second heartbreak?
