Not Her Day to Die

By: Sage RelleAnne

Sunday. Sunday. Sunday.

Why did you have to go and burrow your way into our hearts? Is that why the stars aligned? Is that why we couldn’t live a day without you?

Our Sunday.

Axel’s Little Lamb.
Darius’s Wildflower.
My baby girl.

You may think this is the first time you have fallen into our lives, but for us it’s been years.

Years of pining.
Years of following.
Years of longing.

But now, after all this time, you’re finally safe.
Except…something isn’t right.

Fate is still tugging you towards danger.
Leading you into the underbelly of this corrupt town.
Shoving you towards the last secret we’re keeping from you.

And when you figure it out, when the ugly truth comes to light, please don’t run away again.
Because now that we know we can have a future with you?
We will never let you go.
