"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand

Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

ly is the most important thing'  she said which put a lot of things into perspective for me. She considered us a family. To her it wasn't just an arrangement but we were family.

But l was uncertain if she thought we were family because we shared Akai or she really thought of us as a family. That is my end goal, the thing l want most out of this arrangement. For us to be a family. To have what l didn't have growing up
