Melinda had been managing her parent's cafe for over a decade. She's getting grumpy because she wants to go to college. When her younger sister, who did go to college, announced an upcoming marriage, she reluctantly agrees to attend with her best platonic friend Daniel. But when pressure mounted, she announced that Daniel is her fiance and they intended to marry soon. Now caught in her lies, she doesn't know how to get out of it... // Daniel had been to prison, and got back out, knowing what he did (he was forced, but he knew he could have found another way) and he had been living properly since. He's not the kind of guy a girl takes home to meet their parents, but when Melinda asked, he can't refuse. But be her fake fiancee? That's not exactly a burden, but he doesn't really want to lie...
Now that's an interesting way to handle fake fiancee, by layering the problems with expectations, desires, envy, only to find nothing is as it seems. And even the darkest hour was handled properly, instead of "sensitive hearing and ego", it's "you don't need me now that you got what you wanted". Wow, that's some deft plotting. Can't spoil the plot, so I'll stop here. But read this.
