"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.

I don't understand the whole concept and l only show affection when it is needed. Other than that they know not to involve me. My brother had always been the more open of the both of us

He is always vocal about his feelings or whenever he is displeased. I remember the time l took him to lunch back when he was in high school and l was in university. It was on one of the days l had driven back home.

We were made to wait in line because everyone and their families decide that they too wanted to attend the not so familiar O'Galistos breakfast buffet

Those who were of a different complexion and race were attended to before us and that set him off. The blatant disrespect was enough to make him cross of the restaurant and give it a bad Internet review
