This is not a story of a charming boy next door and a pretty girl wherein they meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. This is a story of a boy with nothing but intellect as his only treasure and a baneful girl with secrets nobody dares ask her about. The pursuit of his answers begin long after when he comes to know that he too is a part of the skeletons in her cupboard and unsuspected feelings bloom in him as he sees in her a familiar face from his bygone years. This is not the story of a boy who grew into a man through pain. This is the story of a girl who was never to be born.

“Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand, and becoming comfortable with not knowing.” 


What do I be scared of now? The very possible hazard that Loralie will beat me black and blue because it fairly appears that I saw something I wasn't supposed to see, or the fact that someone who shared the same womb with Analia, her blood, flesh and face is right here in front of me? 


No wonder she looked so identical to Analia. 


"What's with that look on your face? I thought you'd scream in shock and run for the hills out of fear and disbelief and yet you don't even bat an eye. You're a real pack of undissembling surprises, Blaine Bennett."
