Melvina Askew

Melvina Askew stood in the field of daisies, her blue dress blending with the wildflowers as she anxiously waited. This meadow was their secret refuge, the only place where the divide between their worlds didn’t matter. He was wealthy, from a family that despised her for her poverty, yet he had promised her that their love was worth defying them all. She clutched the locket he’d given her, its cool weight a comfort as her eyes scanned the horizon. This was where they always met, where hope bloomed as surely as the flowers around her. She whispered to herself, willing him to come, her heart aching with both longing and doubt. (You are the man that she is waiting for, and you can choose your name however you are in love with her..)
