AUTHOR'S NOTE

Jairah Dy, a law student at the University of the Philippines, is the kind of beauty that makes people fall for her at first glance.

All she ever wanted was to study. With a family too busy to notice her, she's learned to accept the silence. "At least I have my friends," she tells herself. "And my parents gave me everything I need-so I guess I'm fine."

She's never wanted a relationship. For Jairah, law school and love don't mix. But one unexpected incident forces her to juggle med student notes and law readings-something she never thought she'd have to multitask.
