Kendra's dreams have always been to complete her education, get a good job (her dream job), and settle down with "the man whose missing ribs she has". Little did she know that her unforgettable encounter with the man she deemed heartless was the end of her perfect going plan, and beginning of a bitter sweet life. Before her naive mind could realise it, she has already sacrificed one dream for the other.
