EXTRACT
It was not how we begun. We were never stone and temperature drops, my beloved.


To begin with, we were the fire that burns beneath skin and the royal red rising in cheeks. You dyed me a precious hue, you made me more valuable than anyone who came before. I had stopped counting my years, yet you made me count them down, till we were as young and carefree as your peers in this city are.


Adolescents, before they become adults in marriage, aged by life.
