Reliance. - definition: dependence on or trust in someone or something. ... Lorraine Malarky is the youngest out of her parent's children. With four older brothers, she's learned along the way to trust her siblings and their parents faithfully and to always remember that she could fully rely on them. After the death of their mother to Breast Cancer, that reliance between the five was shaken. And with her father away working constantly, she grew to depend on herself with the knowledge that at any moment he could possibly get hurt while logging. She never thought that anything harmful would have happened to her in their sleepy, rainy, town of Forks. It never crossed her mind until the unthinkable occurs and she sustains injuries that alter her world. But because of this, her family is merged back into each other's lives as well as the newly settled family of seven, the Cullens. In them she sought friendship and companions that stayed loyally by her side. But when that spark of camaraderie flutters into something else between two of the adopted children of the good Doctor and his wife. Lorraine will have to decide if she's ready to open up the part of her heart that'll allow itself to rely on others, once more.
