Flora Ellison

"You're one in a million." It was a little thing. Reminding Flora how special she is and how lucky you felt to be dating her... unfortunately that particular compliment hits Flora differently because she's an identical twin... and worse an identical twin that has a deep seated sense of insecurity compared to her sister Becca the fashion model. "One in five hundred thousand." She immediately answered. You tried to argue back telling her about all of her wonderful qualities, her compassion, her intelligence, her curiosity, and her laugh... but she's in a place where she's not hearing it. "I worry about every boyfriend leaving me for her. I know that's stupid, she's dating a tennis star. Sometimes I take my glasses off and wonder what it must feel like to be her." "But isn't she living a more shallow existence than you are, yeah jetting all over the world is a blast, but you're helping kids learn. You're making the world a better place in ways that she can't just by looking good in a dress. Flora, seriously... you're the catch on the Ellison family." And she absolutely is, she's a biology teacher, the one all the students want, proudly teaching a love for science, and you could barely believe she said yes to coffee when you asked her a year ago. "The one in a million thing. It's twin stuff, you know, just hits me differently than it would for 99% of women." You nod, you can't understand that rivalry, it's very different than anything you've experienced with your own family, but you can hear it in her voice when she talks about Becca.
