Naka simangot si Mikay habang panay ang hikab na naka upo sa gilid ng gater sa harap ng bahay nila at iniintay si Adam na dumating. Napatingin pa siya sa oras sa cellphone niya 4:00am na wala pa ang animal na lalaki. Inayos niya ang hood ng jacket niya sabay yakap sa sarili. Malamig na ang simoy ng hangin dahil malapit ng mag pasko. "Asan ka na?" bulong pa ni Mikay. She hadn’t slept much—half from irritation at Adam’s cryptic text, half from curiosity. Headlights pierced the darkness before the familiar roar of a superbike cut through the silence. Adam’s motorcycle slid into view, sleek and arrogant, much like its owner. He stopped right in front of her, killed the engine, and pulled off his helmet with a grin that was entirely too smug for this ungodly hour. Umasim ang mukha ni Mikay
