Flower By Kenzo.

He keeps a bottle of Flower on the chest, by the bed. Scent being the greatest passport through time into tortured, treasured memory. When memory is all that’s left of her. All that’s left of the softest touch,  angelic whispers, creamy skin, Lapis eyes and golden hair of the woman he was too proud to […]

Sweat Drenched Malediction.

He didn’t see Gabriella in colour. He saw her in black and white. Glorious monochrome. The fantasy had been the same for years, regardless of whomever else shared his sheets.
