Cristine, an international intern in a hotel, meets a charming navy soldier in Georgia named Drayce. Their love flourished and thrive until one day, he accepted a highly confidential mission with a low expectancy rate of coming home causing the two to break up. Unfortunately, Cristine kept her pregnancy from him and raised her daughter with the help of her parents. Years passed and now that she and her daughter is back in the US where she takes a great job offer. In the country where they found love, will she be able to keep her secret daughter from Drayce and the rest of his family?

Love in Separation

For me, it was hard to imagine what would Drayce be like if he was finally with Maralin. Although I have dabbled in the idea of his reaction upon learning of my pregnancy, I opted not to delve my mind into how he would be as a father. 


I know he’d be a good one, but for the sake of my daughter, I decided not to have any expectations. 


It’s been days since Drayce found out about Maralin and ever since then, he’s been visiting after his work and would only leave when she’s finally asleep. 


As I prepare snacks for them, I couldn’t imagine seeing my daughter happily indulging her father in his love for cars. 


Drayce and Maralin are currently in the parking lot, working on his corvette. I’m not sure how he’d do it until when I came down to fetch them. 


With the corvette’s hood open, Drayce leans forward to work on the engine as he asks Maralin for tools.
