They only bloomed once every four years.Valeriya descended her horse, Michail, as she approached her destination. She ran out into the field for she c...uld see the faint glow of her desires. The flowers were bountiful and vivacious. She lay with them; caressed them; inhaled them. Their scent mesmerized her. Sleep took her.Michail whinnied. How long had she abandoned herself to her dreams?She sat up and rubbed her eyes. “Whatever is the matter, Michail?”Her vision focused. A rugged figured.

But you never made a move because you knew too that I couldn’t and that it would have hurt us both too much.’ She was right. ‘I knew you’d always be my closest friend because you love me and I love you.
