Cynical Love

“Everyone’s got some baggage; it’s part of life. But like anything else, it’s easier when someone gives you a hand with it." -Ted Mosby, How I met your Mother. When 27 year old Alicia Cooper’s boyfriend proposes to her, she is taken back to her senior year of high school when her parents’ failed marriage had left her cynical about love; when to her, love was just a 4 letter word which only has meaning in fairy tales and movies; when she had moved to Hamington City looking for a fresh start; when she had no idea that within a year, a tornado named Ian Waters would sweep her off her feet, turn her life upside down and teach her how to love. In the words of Julia from ‘The Original Sin’, this is not a love story, but it is a story about love.
