All men in her life dish out broken promises and disappointments to her. ~~~ Amara is a 22 year old young woman living with her single mother in the East Finchley London. From a young age life has dealt her a bad hand and forced her to fight for survival. She works to the bone at a small restaurant in East Finchley to save money so she can go to to a culinary arts school to avoid taking money from her boyfriend or his family who want to finance her dreams. After spending nearly a year apart from her boyfriend, Alexander Reigh, while he was studying in the US, she helps his mother plan his surprise homecoming party, not knowing he has a surprise of his own for them. A surprise that forces Amara to leave behind all she's ever known, and build walls around her heart. She swears off all men. "Alex?" "Amara, hi" In the four years we have been dating, and the ten I have known him, he has never called me by my full name. "Who's with you?" I asked him, not even sure I wanted to know his answer. "This is Sam" He said finding interest on the wooden floors. "Hi, I'm Sam. His girlfriend." The blonde said holding out her hand to shake mine.
