“ I felt overwhelmed. I didn’t expect a first kiss to be so…life altering. In a few brief moments, the rule book of my universe had been rewritten. Suddenly I was a brand new person. I was as fragile as a newborn, but instead of the doctor placing me in my mother’s arms, he’d put me in Ren’s. What would Ren do with me?

What a breakable and delicate thing a heart was, no wonder I’d kept mine locked away. ”

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. ”
