Overview

Nina Salcido I dated a toxic man with immature friends, which led to my first mistake, and the next, and finally, I left Fresno and started over. It was great until one day, it wasn't. Always the wrong man. Always the bad choice. The hurt, gnawing deep in my soul, my mother's call... Always too late to fix it. Alejandro Peña I've skated by my whole life, never responsible, nor willing to put in effort. Deep down, I'm still pining for the one who got away, who wasn't mine. She's the secret fantasy, kept protected, perfect in my mind's eye, and no woman could compete... And then she wandered right back into my life. No fucking way she's getting away from me now.
