A/N: Thank you for the reviews.
She doesn't watch television anymore; romance taunts her with love too far out of reach, horror she experienced for herself, comedy doesn't make her laugh (not much can these days), sci-fi is just another, more twisted version of the Island.
Music is the same; rap songs saturated with anger (she has enough already, thank you), each love story ending too perfectly. She had her chance to live a fairy tale, and let it slip away.
There is one novel she reads over and over again: Romeo and Juliet, the modern version of Adam and Eve. A tragedy that fits her life all too well.
Wherefore art thou Romeo?
