VERONICA LATAS was the last person Carmen ever expected to fall in love with. In his eyes they were polar opposites, she was insanely confident and bold. She didn't have any doubts or worries about what she was doing. She knew exactly what she wanted and was going to get it.

But as he and Veronica got to knew each other their senior year of college, he realized they were a lot more alike than he thought... and that she was actually, exactly what he needed. He was what she needed too.

It was the first time she was ever head over heels for someone, and that was big for her. She had many boyfriends in her lifetime, only one of them ever lasting as long as Carmy did. But after nearly two years of dating, Carmen's brother died and left his restaurant to Carmy... his restaurant in Chicago.

He asked Veronica to come to Chicago with him and she panicked. The two of them went their separate ways, never speaking again until 2 years later. When Veronica and her best friend make a visit at his restaurant, The Bear.

✧˚ · . ACT 1: gold rush
they meet again.

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

✧˚ · . ACT 2: maroon
the memories.

And I wake with your memory over me
That's a real fucking legacy, legacy (it was maroon)
And I wake with your memory over me
That's a real fucking legacy to leave

It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
