Maris Flores is only eighteen, but she's traveled halfway across the world to Switzerland to attend a serious architecture school. She's got her scholarship, her big dreams, and a huge case of homesickness. It's beautiful in Europe, with the cold mountains and quiet efficiency, but Maris feels lost and alone.
Everything changes when she meets Gabriel "Gabe" Alcantara. At 22, Gabe is charming, confident, and has already figured out how to navigate life in Switzerland. He is the comfort Maris desperately needed-the shared language, the familiar food, and the easy laughter that makes her feel like she's back home in the Philippines.
Their connection is instant and deep, built on late-night talks and exploring the hidden corners of the Swiss city. Gabe helps Maris open up and start enjoying her new life. Their romantic moments are special and rare, like finding the mountain flower, the Edelweiss, blooming in the snow.
