Love After Love [UNRELEASED]

Prelude

Twenty-four-year old Nova Mendes has been desperate
to escape a life being passed down
for generations
on generations
ever since she came to the understanding of
how a man should treat his lady.

Escape,
new life,
great life
but she soon falls into social obscurity
when Neymar pulls the rug
from under her.

"I'm sorry"
but this isn't her first rodeo ,
but will this be her first time accepting it?
Will she allow Neymar to
treat her like a lady?

❝When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what I attend,
Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent

Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.❞

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
