"Some people enter your life just long enough to be unforgettable."

Mireya Katherine has a memory she can't shake, a boy with curly blond hair and piercing blue eyes, a yellow tulip, and a fleeting summer in the Netherlands. 

She doesn't remember his name, his face fades with time, but the memory lingers.

Years later, life in Manila moves fast. College, Parties, friendships, and heart-fluttering encounters she doesn't know how to handle. 

Then, by chance-or fate-she meets him again. 

Only now, he's Inigo Yvan Valezka, the annoyingly perfect, impossibly talented guy she can't stop noticing.

Can a memory from a yellow tulip field become something real, or will it remain just a beautiful fragment of the past?
