Love And Affection The closer I got to the stage, the more I realized I couldn’t go through with it. I couldn’t marry Ramien.

Her milk chocolate hair curled around her heart shaped face. Azure eyes sparkled with a mixture of joy and sadness. And, Dad. Still serene and regal. His deep burgundy eyes full of compassion. I rushed into their arms. “Venus, my dear,” dad said. I wondered if these people knew I wasn’t theirs. But I already knew the answer.
