They always met in the early morning hours; leaving in darkness and returning at dawn. The excitement is in the forbidden secrecy...the fear of getting caught. It started when they were teenagers and their families were at odds. Theirs wasn't the first love story to begin this way...and it certainly wouldn't be the last. But still there was some danger in their trysting this way...for him it was murder by whichever father found him out first...and for her a wish that she was.
