Plot
Luna was attending a big Thanksgiving gathering over at her neighbor's house. The Whites had mingled with the Dawsons for a very long time, and Luna and Felix's "friendship" stretched back to their earliest days, yet while Luna harbored a deep affection for Felix, bordering on adoration, Felix regarded her merely as a nuisance. Luna had long observed his indifferent demeanor toward her, but it wasn't until that moment that she comprehended the underlying reason for his aloofness.
As the two families were discussing a prospective wedding between Luna and Felix, the latter, in a fit of rage, shouted that he wanted nothing to do with her and, furthermore, blamed her for eliciting this whole situation with her attitude, an accusation she deeply resented. After that deplorable episode, she wanted nothing to do with him, though her heart still ached. Soon after, Felix got a new girlfriend, Lili, who would get very defensive towards Luna owing to her past with him. Hence, Luna decided to date Felix's brother, Colin, who turned out to be a bit "spicier" than she anticipated.
