She led him through endless nights of pleasure, where wine and wild dances made one forget about the dawn. But whenever Marty tried to ask about her past, she would only smile—a beautiful yet empty smile—and say that love doesn’t need questions. Then one day, he realized the lips he kissed were whispering lies. The hand he held was sowing misfortune for those around them.
