Donavan needed to take a hint lol
Not gonna lie, I wanted to jump into this duet and smack some sense into Donovan. SHE WANTS YOU!! But everything is fine. Everyone is fine. I can breathe and I've calmed down lmao
Donovan and Sabrina met in college. She was 17 and he, 22. They were teacher's aid and student. Sabrina, though, she wasn't originally interested in him. Weston is who she has laid her eyes on - another student in the class and Donovan's friend. Weston was everything she wanted to escape her own life. Good looking and rich.
Her attention is soon changed to Donovan when he saves her from being sexually assaulted. She begins to see him as her hero and her thoughts are filled with him... in more ways than one. Weston is now back thought but he begins to notice her. This conflicts Sabrina because now she doesn't know who she wants and has to make her decision. Ultimately, Donovan makes it for her - he pushes her towards Weston.
Even 10 years later, after leaving Havard because of a family emergency, Sabrina is still pining after Donovan. With the help of a friend, she's reunited with Weston. Now she finds out what could have been with him. Although she believes she could have a life with him, things change when Sabrina gets offered a new job at Weston's company - 3 months after their hookup - and Donovan comes back. With this the revelation that Weston is engaged to someone else for business and Donovan holding secrets of his own.
