In a nook where tales and whispers blend,

Lily dwelt, where pages were her friends.

A maiden pure, in a world so vast,

In a bookstore small, time gently passed.

Her eyes behind lenses, clear and bright,

Saw worlds in words, in black and white.

A soul untouched by life's cruel game,

Innocence her shield, Lily by name.

Then came a day, like none before,

A shadow crossed the quaint bookstore.

Dominic, power cloaked in guise,

Found in her gaze, his own surprise.

A chance encounter, worlds collide,

A girl so fair, a man of pride.

In her simple grace, he saw a light,

In his dark world, a beacon bright.

Emotions stirred, so raw, so real,

A heart of ice began to feel.

Innocence caught in a gaze so deep,

Awakened a beast, long in sleep.

Thus begins their tale, so bold, so new,

A path of thorns, they must pursue.

Innocence lost, but love may find,

In the pages of life, so intertwined.
