- Veronica is a 30-year-old woman who goes about her life using men to fill the void her father created when he abandoned her as a child, but one day, a knock at her door brings her 12-year-old half-brother Elliot into the picture, in the same situation she was in, to change the course of her life.
- Veronica is the protagonist of this story. She is a 30-year-old woman of strong character with a no-nonsense approach to her personality. However, while past events that scarred her may have left her tough on the outside, they have also left her vulnerable on the inside. Because she experienced her father's abandonment at a young age, Veronica tried to fill the void with men. She developed a system of seeing several men at the same time and started keeping all of their contact information in a little black notebook labeled 'Buddy List'. She thought leading this lifestyle would bring her the happiness she was so eagerly searching for...but she could not have been more wrong. To help her realize this, a 12-year-old boy named Elliot knocks at her door one day and turns out to be her younger half-brother that was JUST abandoned by their same father. Elliot is now going through the same abandonment issues Veronica went through at his age. In the beginning, Veronica sees Elliot as an obstacle, keeping her from her perceived happiness when in reality, little by little, she sees he might be that happiness she has been searching for. After Veronica gets to know him better, she realizes Elliot is an innocent smart ass going through events no child should ever have to go through, which causes him to be mature beyond his years. Seeing him going through this, brings out her motherly instincts as she sees Elliot is still at a stage in his life before being corrupted by the world and is turned into another terrible man like their father. So she feels it is her duty to protect him as her little brother to prevent this from happening. In the end, Veronica realizes the path she is currently on is not the one that is going to bring her the happiness she desires, so she decides to take a step towards change and give Elliot the chance he deserves to have a family by trying her best to be an older sister to him which in turn allows her to receive in him a family.—Amelia Benavente
