I woke up to the sunlight filtering into the room, and after pulling up the covers over my head with the full intentions of falling right back to sleep. Jared had other ideas in mind, and just when I was about to revisit dreamland. I heard the front door opening and closing. From this, I discerned Jared, more than likely, was coming back from his morning jog.

……..From this, I knew his actions were measured, and there was no doubt he was deliberately doing his best to wake me up, because the newspaper shenanigans was just took much of a dead giveaway to form any other logical conclusion.

The telephone then began to ring, and in the process of Jared picking up to answer, I still wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of knowing he was successful in his sly little plan, and thus, I acted like I was just waking up by stretching out my limbs beneath the covers. But once I unveiled my face out from under the blanket, he was well on his way to conversing over the telephone, and from what I could make out from the one-sided conversation, I knew it was Tim who had called.

..….Jared, thereafter refocusing all of his attention back onto me, said after taking a sigh of relief, ” I hope I got through to Tim to let me contend with a certain lowlife scumbag at work.

I then said, worried for Jared, “That’s all well and good for Tim, but what about you. Who’s got your back?

……I joined him at the table. I asked while sitting to his right if he wouldn’t mind sharing the morning paper. He answered, making it clear there was no need for me to ask him in the first place. I took the local news section and took notice Jared had picked up his family’s paper. The Denver Sun back from his jog. But I also come to find my mind was on anything but the news.

Instantaneously, Jared stopped kissing me and leaned back, and knowing more than likely my minor little objections weren’t enough to warrant such direct action. I followed Jared’s lead and simultaneously leaned back myself, wondering just what happened here, and straightaway, I grew worried and scared when I saw his hurtful expression.

……I only saw pain and heartache on his expression, which made me feel just awful knowing without a doubt his pain was the genuine article, and with the doors now completely closed before me, he was now gone for good.

A real disappointment is in the making when awakening to a perfectly happy day with the sunny expectations to match. The kind of morning where all seems hopeful and possible in your world and somehow all shall work itself out in the end. This is where Lily the young damsel finds herself in the adventurous romantic Biblical ‘End of Days’ novel, Lily Among Thorns Part 2 by the Author Annette K Mazzone.

But thereafter the dawn breaks and the morning progresses. BAMM! Something befalls Lily to test her resolve to merely have a pleasant day, and to complicate matters. The worst part for Lily is being singularly and unknowingly responsible by putting a most trusted relationship at risk.

Lily being the party of the first part is overwhelmed by the depths of heartache for which she is the cause, whereby Jared the party of the second part is on the receiving end of the malcontent.

Passions ran high as Lily agonizes over something she cannot help, and although Lily’s integrity may still be intact it is a downcast conciliation in her lonesomeness.

The incident between both Lily and Jared become a true test of their upstanding character. Turning back the clock to both Lily and Jared’s early youth. The teachings of the Holy Scriptures set the ethical precedent unknowingly or otherwise of the Bibles goodly statutes and to adhere to the cautionary warning to avoid the pitfalls of that ‘Old Serpent’s’ tricks of bitterness and resentment as it is written in 2nd Timothy 3:14, 15, But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, know of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

The order of the day and there-be only one answer for Lily and Jared, and that is to start anew, and to this end a empathetic consideration is agreed to ‘Make Ones Point Without Pointing The Finger’ as it is written in Romans 3:23, All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
