Making a mistake, she realises she can’t come back from it. In a cloud of guilt she decides to put her happiness first. Putting herself first is not made easy, there’s someone that wants to make sure that it doesn’t happen. A story of finding a big, exciting, deep love and having to deal with the obstacles and the people that will do anything to make sure that love doesn’t happen.
