Wight Until Forever

Unconditional love has always been a myth in Marie's books.

After leaving Cuba in search of a better and kinder life, calamity strikes, taking her beloved sister, Carmen, and brother-in-law, away from them; who held her family's future together, leaving them stranded in a foreign country with a grieving mother and two orphaned nieces to fend for.

With her on constant survival mode, there was no room for weakness, illusory dreams and certainly no desire to get close to anyone.

In a country that was never meant to become home, she meets a family that do not understand the concept of personal space. But despite her sharp retaliatory tongue, stubborn pride and a safely armoured heart, they welcome her with a kindness and love she isn't accustomed to. Especially from people she isn't related to by blood.

A family that chooses her, over and over again.

And a man who has been there from the start.

Habib. A man who has loved her with no limits. One who has spent 4 years proving his unyielding devotion to her, loving her through every rejection, every brick, and every effort to keep him as far away as possible. A man who carefully removed the bricks shielding her heart, not with force, but by earning her trust.

For the first time since losing Carmen, Marie allows herself to hope, to dream, to finally breathe, when a diagnosis shatters it all.

Confronted with a possibility of becoming another person to bury, she is confronted with two questions:

Is unconditional love real, or is it simply another beautiful lie we tell ourselves before goodbye?

Keep running from the people who love her or finally trust them enough to stay?
