This a continuation of story 2 where the protagonists feelings further develop.

Review
Story 1 was a generic yet sweet love story. Story 2 is the gem of this collection. It made me almost want to cry. Story 3 disgusts me because I can't believe Maya wants to be with her dead sister's fiance and that he later returns her feelings. Ew. Story 4 also makes me angry because I thought the boyfriend was really insensitive. Story 5 which was a continuation of Story 2 wasn't as great as the original but wasn't bad either.
