Today the past had come to haunt Sophia.
Sophia's mother, Nova Sterling, came from an affluent family. She had lost her mother at an early age. But thankfully, her father and older brother had pampered and shielded her from the realities of the real world. So she had longed for nothing.
She was a beauty like no other, but none of her suitors caught her attention.
Austin Collins was an orphan who went to the same university as Nova, but unlike her who's schooling was fully funded by her father. Austin survived on scholarships and grants combined with hard work.
Nova and Austin had a lot of classes together, so they often saw each other, and were sometimes paired up for group projects. Eventually, Nova fell in love with Austin. She had given him a lot of hints to show how she felt, but he was either ignoring her, or he was just slow when it came to relationships.
