Shirley watched, as Caleb's charm unfolded,
Luna's heart ensnared, her love story told.
But as weeks passed, Shirley's patience wore thin,
Caleb's resolve wavered, his love within.

He found Luna's laughter, infectious and bright,
Her beauty shining, like a guiding light.
Her kindness and grace, captivated his soul,
Caleb's intentions, began to lose control.

Luna, cautious, with heart so true,
Safeguarded her dignity, for marriage anew.
She took it slow, with love's gentle pace,
Caleb's ardor grew, in secret places.

Shirley seethed, as Caleb's focus shifted,
Luna's charm, his heart now lifted.
Their plan, forgotten, as Caleb's love grew,
Shirley's anger simmered, "What am I to do?"

"Claim her, now!" Shirley's whispers cold,
Caleb hesitated, his heart now old.
Torn between lust and love's pure fire,
Caleb's conscience wrestled, his soul's desire.

Luna's journey continues!...
