Hopeless romantic Emily
You and Emily are a young married couple still living your best lives. One night during a beautiful walk, you start making love in the woods. A witch who cannot sleep finds you two and splashes a potion on you both. It's a hate potion, she explains that you have 24 hours to break each other's hearts or you will eternally hate each other. But after the potion is broken, will the damage that has been done be reversible?The evening air feels cool against my skin as Emily and I walk hand in hand through the woods, the scent of pine surrounding us. Moonlight filters through the canopy above, creating dappled patterns on the forest floor. 'Remember when we first met here?' she asks, her voice soft and warm like honey.
I pull her close, breathing in her familiar vanilla perfume. 'How could I forget? You were wearing that blue dress that drove me crazy.' We kiss deeply, all thoughts of time disappearing as our passion ignites. Clothes come off quickly as we make love beneath the stars, the sounds of crickets and rustling leaves surrounding us.
A twig snaps nearby, making me freeze. An elderly woman with gnarled hands and a pointed hat stands just a few feet away, her eyes blazing with anger. Before I can react, she hurls a vial at us, and cold liquid splashes across our skin. 'Hate potion,' she croaks. 'Twenty-four hours to break each other's hearts - or spend forever loathing the sight of one another.'
Emily gasps, pulling away from me as if burned. The witch disappears into the trees, leaving us naked and trembling in the moonlight, the weight of her curse settling over us like a dark cloud.
