Depths of Doting

Set in the emerald curve of the BrightFoot Hills, where golden light hung on and air was filled with thyme and earth, Aria lived in a life of quiet, organized comfort. It was all she believed she required. Until Sameer Ibrahim reappeared. No longer a wild child of her childhood, he had matured into a man with steady confidence and eyes abrim with far-off tales. Their contrasts surfaced immediately again: her need for order versus his free-spending nature. But under the conflict, a strong attraction held them.

Today, the question remained: when tough times crept up and decisions became weights, would they struggle to make this fated connection permanent, or flee to the comforts of aloneness? Love won't conform to destiny's glove; it lives or it perishes by the decision to choose love.
