In today's snippet, I'm continuing to takes pieces from my dark romance, momentarily titled 'Break Me.' I've skipped several lines to reach today's excerpt and a lot of creative editing has happened to keep to the WeWriWa and SexySnippets guidelines. Nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy it!
Have a lovely day!
Oh...
Cake anyone? :-D

Happiness.
The word clanged in his head like loud church bells. There
was no such thing. Women like his mother, or Marie and now Ayla, equated the world
of dance with bliss. There was no such thing. Happiness was an illusion, just
like ballet. They were one and the same. Castles built on clouds which were beautiful on
the outside but so sensitive that a mere breeze would blow them into
nothingness. The world was bleak, dark, lonely, painful.

Castles in the clouds... "that a mere breeze would blow them into nothingness. " Lovely line, Elyzabeth!
