Excerpt
Boy is waiting for Sasha so that he can tell her he loves her and they can start their life together. The only problem for Sasha is that she doesn’t even know he exists.

He glanced over to the apartment block, but no light shone in her window. Where was she? He’d left work early just for her. His hand gripped the flower stems so tight he could feel each strand of string tying them together. Forcing himself to relax, he dropped the roses back into the bag. Shaking his head, he closed the zip, shutting them from view.

She didn’t know yet she had to come straight home and not keep him waiting. That would be the first lesson he’d teach her. Some understanding of her role would be in order before he handed over the posy of roses.

Another five minutes passed and still no welcoming light showed in her window. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of sweets. They had always been Grammy’s favourites, but he liked them because each one carried a special message. He wondered which one he would need for tonight. When he’d first arrived, he was convinced it could only be ‘She Loves Me’ but now that she’d kept him waiting for so long, maybe he’d have to sort out a different love heart.

Breathe, he told himself; don’t let her selfishness ruin the evening. He would soon encourage her to become a better person.
