Once Innocent (What Can Love Do)

**Innocents**. What a meaningful word, don't you think? We all have or had our innocence. But what is considered "our" innocence or "your" innocence? The word "innocent" can signify being found not guilty, maintaining your sanity, or simply appearing innocent. There is so much meaning packed into such a small word.

Ni'Ari was once innocent.

Ni'Ari loved Alanis, but they could never see eye to eye. One day, Alanis decided it was time to call it quits, and so their connection faded away. Yet, Ni loved her-she always did. Ni loved how she could be herself around Alanis and how Alanis made her feel. But how? Ni had never actually met her. She couldn't grasp why she was so attached to Alanis. What if Alanis was someone completely different? What if she wasn't exactly who she claimed to be? It's that little "what if," that speck of faith, that kept Ni hanging on.

However, Ni felt there was someone else out there. No matter how hard she tried to focus on Alanis, she sensed another soul waiting for her. But why? What purpose does that person serve? Could that soul be the one Ni had been searching for-the one to show her what real love is? The one to teach her what acceptance feels like? So many questions, yet few answers. Is love really worth it? Why does Ni need it so desperately? What is it that she believes love can do? Eventually, we will find out; but will what they have last?

• Will their connection be worth it?
They've known each other for years but have never met.
• Will things change?
• What will happen?
• The real question is: Is Alanis the one, or is she just a distraction from who Ni truly needs?
• Ni dreams, but what are her dreams about? Perhaps we should be asking about whom.

The life of Ni-a thrilling life at that. (This book is very explicit, so please be advised.)
