To Get Burned
preface
It was impressive, really.
Chris and Kayli's story was one for the books. It was considered an almost textbook fairytale romance. He was masculine, strong, brave, and oh, was he handsome. She was strikingly beautiful, courageous, and had such a tender but guarded heart.
It was a whirlwind romance. In an era where all things good and free were questioned, one would expect their relationship to have been torn down before it was ever given a chance. There wasn't a soul who doubted them or harbored ill wishes.
But it is important to remember, my dears, that all flames – regardless of how hot or brightly they burn – will eventually cease. Some simmer away to embers, some are regretfully blown away, and some are violently put out.
