A lovely piece of writing, Oluchukwu. We feel your MC's pain that she buries deep and accepts. How awful that she feels that she is incapable of forming decent friendships because of those she has tried to befriend in the past. I love that, despite the rejection she has experienced, she retains her sense of empathy for others.. Her meeting with Rose was also beautifully crafted.
Sibel is a good natured person. Thank you very much for this heartwarming comment. I'm glad you loved the story💕
