Prologue
Two infants.
Two teenagers.
Two young adults.
As time passes by, it makes me believe that not all relationships evolve into more intimate, sweeter and the person in front of you will love you more day by day. We grow up, we also grow apart.
Serena and Patrick were childhood sweethearts. Their mothers were crazy enough to birth them into the world just to become a love couple. They were taught at young age that they are husband and wives in the future.
Now, 20 years has already gone by. They still live next to each other’s houses. Their parents still expect them to become sweet to each other like they were when they were just innocent children. They expect them to arrive home from school together. They still expect them to be there every Sunday service and Sunday family day.
They were just supposed to be brothers and sisters without the pushy attitude of their mothers. They want Patrick to treat Serena like his girlfriend. They want Serena to act like Patrick’s girlfriend. Sometimes they try it, but in the end, they just can’t go back to the way they used to be. They couldn’t go back to the time when rescuing a friend from the mud is a must. They couldn’t go back to grade school when Serena’s being bullied by her freckles and Patrick goes to rescue. They couldn’t go back to middle school when it’s okay for them to attend the school’s party as dates.
They just grew up but the relationship also grew farther from the hearts of each other.
