The one always slipping from her hair, soft worn fabric in that particular shade of red. His vision of it wavered like a reflection on disturbed water, beautiful and untouchable.

Rain lashed at the high windows, relentless and sharp, like the storm was furious to be locked outside. Each gust sent tremors through the glass that he felt in his bones.

Everyday, Sunshine’s eyes are addicted to Anderson’s image. Her golden heart is longing to abduct him forever; to totally see him at all time. Well, her cold feet are now moving to the window; to find something which is identical to the man. What her cold eyes could see; the image of the tree which keeps centering to her eyes. Her imagination…

Her heart, torn between longing for freedom and the fear of the repercussions, thudded loudly against her ribcage. Her mind became a battleground, with hope and trepidation engaged in an intense struggle for dominance. Vivid images of a life beyond these suffocating walls danced before her eyes. She could almost taste the sweetness of liberation, feel the warmth of the sun on her skin as she walked through open fields. The thought of regaining control over her own destiny, reclaiming her autonomy, stirred a flicker of courage deep within her soul.

The sun streamed through the vast windows of the bridal suite, turning the ivory silk gown draped across the mannequin into something blinding, holy even. But to me, it wasn’t holy. It was a shroud.
