The Photo That Lily Showed Me, What Can I Say?

The girl in the photo was dressed in a white aoyai and the boy in a white silk shirt. They looked like two lambs, impeccably prepared by their elders as sacrifices to appease a beast or a god. Would anyone have been surprised to hear that they died right after the photo was taken? Some children were born tragedies. I could not make a romance out of Lily's story. She was not the first person I had let down with my writing.
