Despite not feeling any romantic spark, Alaina and the boy agreed to go along with their parents wishes. They pretended to be a couple, putting on smiles and acting affectionate whenever they were around their families. Deep down, Alaina and the boy felt trapped in this arrangement. They longed to choose their own paths and find love on their own terms. Despite their unhappiness, they continued to play their parts, not wanting to disappoint their parents or cause any tension between the families. As they pretended to be a couple, Alaina and the boy wondered if they would ever have the courage to speak up and reveal their true feelings. Would they find a way to break free from the expectations placed upon them, or would they continue to live a lie for the sake of their parents happiness?
