She Painted Our Family: A She Painted Me Duology Sequel
Nevan and Westley were officially engaged.
Yes, engaged, kahit na minsan hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Nevan kung bakit siya, isang certified golden boy na "gay as the rainbow," ay napunta sa sitwasyong ito. Pero ayun na nga, here they were, glowing like freshly polished sapphire pair of rings, basking in that post-engagement kilig na parang gusto mong i-frame.
Before flying to Italy for their two-week internship, isang passionate moment ang nangyari na parang nagbukas ng pinto na dapat yata ay naka-lock. Isang spark na hindi lang basta spark kundi yung tipong kailangan mo nang magdasal pagkatapos kasi hindi mo alam kung temptation ba 'to o kasalanan na.
Now, with every stolen glance and lingering touch, parang countdown na lang kung kailan sila muling bibigay.
Italy was supposed to be simple. Magtrabaho, kumain ng pasta, magpaka-professional, and go home in time for graduation. Pero siyempre, life said, "Ha-ha, no." Kasi along the cobblestoned streets and candlelit corners, may mga piraso ng nakaraan na bumabalik.
The past na pareho nilang pinangako na ililibing na habang-buhay. At ang masaklap, these weren't just here to haunt. They were ready to blow up everything they've built.
So now the question is. Kaya ba nilang sabay harapin ang trabaho, ang temptations na parang gelato for a couple of euros sa summer, at ang mga pinta ng nakaraan?
O, baka naman Italy will be the place where their love, hard-earned, stubborn, and oh-so-complicated, finally shatters into pieces and become one?
