Her dream is within reach until college student Elliot Sarmiento sets his sights on her. Elliot's undeniable attraction to Dalha complicates her plans. Being wealthy, Elliot can potentially pave an easier path towards her aspirations. However, their budding connection faces obstacles, chiefly from Cace Sarmiento, Dalha's English Teacher and Elliot's older sibling. Despite having no concern for their relationship, the encounters among the trio leave Dalha conflicted. Two things trouble her mind each time they cross paths.

Yet, one thing remains certain to Dalha—the deep, passionate kiss shared with Cace, hinting at unspoken truths that demand her attention.

Okay? It seemed like I misunderstood. She's not into Cace. Probably a close friend?
