They met at dancing class.
There were 2 of them, identical twins.
She wrote his name down at a large piece of paper and put it above the door of her bedroom.
"Please God", she prayed, "make him love me. If so I will never ask you for anything again."
As she moved a few months later she kept calling and writing him, he never wrote back.
Five years later they met again.
He showed up at her doorstep. The girl he had a relationship with left him. Did God hear her prayers after all?
Eight years of misery with the biggest narcissist on earth was the price she payed for her puppy love. More dead as alive she escaped. Over another 14 years he made a hell out of her life. Each year she had to move, had to find a saver place.
"We can not help you", the police said, "only if he kills you it is possible for us to arrest him".
Frequently she thought back at that certain moment.
That moment she wrote down his name, the days and nights she prayed for his love.
She kept her promise she never prayed or asked for anything again.
