Through Your Eyes

Carmen West likes to paint.Art, she believes, makes up for the lack of light in her. Even if it comes in the form of a boy who carries the sun in his eyes.Asa San Roman is afraid his looks are all that he’ll be liked for.He’s reckless, sometimes hotheaded, incredibly passionate and likes to drown him-self in whatever takes the insecurities away. Carmen is satisfied living with her heart under wraps, but then she meets Asa, who wears his on his sleeve-and he reminds her that even after the darkest of nights, comes the breaking of light.Asa is fine with trying to erase parts of his identity, but then she meets Carmen, the girl with midnight hair and thundercloud eyes-who teaches him that beauty doesn’t lie in the colour of his skin, but runs soul-deep instead.Asa and Carmen fall into place beside each other like two halves of a jigsaw puzzle-perfectly into place.But then one of them embarks on a journey of self-love while the other still struggles to admit they have too many open wounds that need healing.And when two people, regardless of the intensity of their feelings, are in complete-ly different points of their lives……is love really enough?
