The tension climbed ever higher and the days dwinded into nothing. No one said a thing anymore, but whispers still rang in her ears- everyone knew. Was it selfish to think she was owed much more than this? The days ran dark. ![]() But this path set for her? Was happiness really writ in this well-worn path?
