favorite fix

The new book by your favorite writer arrives in the mail.

You try and reach home early from work.

Take a quick bath, drop your guards and start reading.

The first three lines break your heart, they are breathtakingly beautiful.

And then you are in a fix.

What if the rest of the book isn’t as good?

Will it be easy to carry on living with the disappointment then?

But what if it is even better than those lines?

What if it becomes your favorite book?

One, that just like true love, will have to get over.

Sooner or later.
