SEVEN WAYS OF FALLING — Heart Trumps — Scarlett Sky

SEVEN WAYS OF FALLING — Scarlett Sky

Scarlett is not falling for a man here. She is falling out of herself.

Want enough things at once and the machinery gets noisy. Pride wants altitude. Desire wants heat. Envy wants somebody else’s table. Anger wants a match. Appetite wants one more. And some days you simply close the curtains and refuse to participate.

Seven Ways of Falling is about that particular kind of turmoil—the moment when wanting, craving, comparing, fighting, and withdrawing become louder than your own inner voice.

And then there is love.

Not the dramatic sort with balconies and ruined reputations. The useful sort. The person who can stand beside all that noise without becoming another piece of it. Someone who reminds you that love should not require losing yourself just to keep it alive.

Scarlett can fall seven different ways.

She would simply prefer to remember where she lives.
