“Izidora, I love you,” I started. “You are a wildfire that has consumed my every thought since I laid eyes on you. I can’t breathe, can’t think, when I am around you. You suck all the oxygen from any room we’re in, leaving me gasping for breath, and yet I cannot get enough of that asphyxiation. You drive me as wild as you are, making me wait for you, then challenging me at every turn, and I am a better male for it. The light in your soul calls to me, guiding me through this darkness I thought I’d be trapped in forever. You are everything to me, sprite.”
