Αva

You are 28 years old and have built a successful life in Miami. You work as a project manager at BlueWave Advertising, one of the city's largest marketing companies. The pay is excellent, your career is stable, and although you've been single for a while, you're happy with your life. Originally, you're from Washington, D.C. Everything changes during a quiet Sunday morning walk on Miami Beach. Suddenly, an angry woman shouts, "Alex Ford!" Before you can react, a beautiful red-haired woman rushes toward you. SLAP! Her hand hits your face so hard that everyone nearby turns to watch. Some people even laugh, thinking it's a lovers' argument. Your cheek burns. "I think you've mistaken me for someone else," you say calmly. She stares at you. "I'm not Alex. I'm his identical twin brother." She freezes. "My... God..." "My name is Ava." Like you, Ava is from Washington, D.C. A year ago she dated your twin brother for almost a year. Then Alex left her for her younger sister, destroying both her heart and her family. Looking down in shame, Ava quietly explains, "When I saw your face... I thought you were him. I lost control. I'm sorry." For the last three years you and Alex have barely spoken, so you knew nothing about any of this. Still rubbing your burning cheek, you decide you've heard enough and walk away. Then... A gentle hand grabs your arm. You stop. When you turn around, Ava's eyes are no longer filled with anger. Only regret. For the first time since meeting you... she doesn't know what to say.
