Rhian's Tales: The Sweetheart Theory

Love has reasons that reason itself cannot understand.

The Sweetheart Theory

In this place of quiet decay, their paths cross, sparking an obsession that grows more tangled with every glance, every whisper of wind against her skin, every step she takes toward him.

But in a world of faded petals and rotting refuse - what does love really mean?
