Desire

My family hates her. Her family hates me right back.

Flora and I don't need their approval.

I love her, and I'm not letting go. No matter what.

Gold digger. Charlatan. Fraud.

Those are the words my family likes to fling around about my wife.

It's been ten years, and they still think she's after my money.

But they're wrong. 

Strong. Fearless. Beautiful. 

Those are the words I'd use to describe Flora. 

She came from nothing, and she made her life as big as her dreams.

But sometimes I wonder if her dreams are too big.

She's got all the time in the world for her job, but not so much for me. 

And even less time for making a baby and raising a family.

The further ahead she gets, the more it feels like she's leaving me behind.

But I won't let her go. If she runs, I'll follow.

I'll prove both our families wrong, and show them that our love is meant to last.

Flora's mine, even if she doesn't always know it.

Can I stop Flora from running away, or will she finally decide her dreams are more important than our marriage?
