"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.

Deep In The Mud

As l drove to my parents house, my heart was hammering out of its cage. I don't know what to expect because l know my mother and how easy it is for her to go over the top. She is a social butterfly and it is easy for her to get caught up in the excitement that she forgets my feelings on the whole matter

Added onto that is the fact that my brother took it upon himself to get me a date and that in itself made me feel a little pathetic. It was like a slap to my face. Did he think l was incapable of finding a man on my own or did he think l was unattractive that he had to find me a partner?

If l thought of such depressing thoughts, it would be impossible for me to enjoy my birthday party. A party that l had no desire to attend but l had to make mama happy
