"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.

"not the time" and with that he runs to the nearest dustbin to puke his guts out. All my hard work at making breakfast all gone down the drain. What an ungrateful man

"spit it all out will you" l say sarcastically and from the outside looking in, it seems like l am taunting him but l am merely playing around so that he does not get too in his feelings about everything going on around him

Because that's how we deal with things, the best way we know how. We laugh at the problem or situation until it doesn't hurt to think about

"I could be dying and you are making jokes" he says as he finished off rinsing his mouth with water and freshening his breath with some gum

"you aren't dead and that's the most important thing" and with that we laugh
