Returned

Ara returned to the rooftop, hoping to find answers to her anxieties. But all her thoughts were now clouded with black ink. There was only one way out of the problem that had shackled her all this time. That path lay right before her, with great potential to save her future and avoid the gossip that could spread from her neighbors' mouths.

"You want to marry me?"

"Yes, but… I need to know something first."

"What is that?"
