Garden Of Eden

"Lily." she said my name, the letters falling from her mouth like petals wilting from a flower of sin.

I didn't respond. Not because I didn't want to. I just didn't know what to say.

My name is Lily Lovelace, and I am as bubbly and feminine as my name is. I've moved around with my family from country to country due to my father's job.

My heart found itself caught between its hunger for love and the safety of solitude.

Oh, Zafina Mustafa, the woman that you are.
