Chapter One
So here you are.
At my feet. Weeping as usual.
What's the trouble this time? What is your ailment today?
I look down at the mass of shining blonde curls that lay on your head and I sigh.
You look up at me with wide blue eyes.
A red rose is clutched in your right hand.
I watch you pull the delicate blood colored petals from the thorny stem of the flower.
