Going through all the dark side and knowing almost all the dark shades of life, Ria, have been aloof. Always the Frowning Quite Queen. Until she met them or rather him-the ever so honest, persistent, and she must admit, how handsome he is. Such a heaven sent.
Showering her radiance, showing how beautiful this world could be, how she is so blessed to still be breathing.
How The Almighty is still fair to her.
Making her feel how worth it she is and how there were still hope for someone so broken as she is.
And she hates it so damn much. How he makes her feel things so foreign for her
and still longs to feel those foreign feelings.
His goodness, it crushes her trust issues and breaks all the locks she made and easily makes her feels so safe, at home and loved.
So much for someone who will also be her next trauma.
