CHAPITRE ONE
-To Whom It May Concern-
"Howl, I had the longest few weeks of my life. With every cloud that went past over my head, I sent my wishes and love along to you. I want you to know that every second of each of my days had been spent wishing on the return of your elongated journey. Howl, I love you. Please remember your promise of a safe return."
She closed her eyes and yet again placed another wish upon the clouds. She watched it soar. She watched as the cloud broke apart, and flew in separate ways. A drop of water slipped quietly down her cheeks and reached the curve of her delicate mouth. The salty taste walloped her back to reality.
A tear?
Sophie had become so proverbial with them that she could no longer feel their perilous journey down her beautifully defined features. She closed her eyes yet again and felt the acidic sense of a flock of tears gather and forcefully caged in behind her eyelids.
She let them rain.
I'm crying again? I promised I wouldn't. Never again...
In front of her sat a vase of black roses.
He said it goes well with the color of my hair. He said it's a harmonic recipe of starlight and the darkness.
From the petal of one rose slid down a tiny trickle of dew. The rose cried with Sophie.
For months now, the roses were the only things capable of accompanying Sophie and sharing her thoughts. The roses withered into sleep when Sophie was lost in her dreams at night. The roses swayed as Sophie occupied herself with thoughts of Howl. The roses cried with her when she lost faith. But the roses never bloomed flatteringly, because Sophie was never happy.
