Violet Flame

By Dawn Jaurequi

At seventeen, Violet has a deep connection with Simon, her slightly older, very much married boss. Carrying the weight of an adult, possessing an old soul, Violet still retains her innocence and, in navigating the preciousness of her first love affair, she doesn't understand the subtleties of Simon's expression of love. Complications arise, in the form of Violet's mother, and Simon's confusing feelings. They are gently and equally matched, and yet, everything and everyone works against their union. Especially, their own inability to say and understand how they feel for one another. Much like a comedy of errors, of the heartbroken variety, their paths are twisted and filled with chaos. What could have been, in love, stain their individual lives. Together and apart. And, Violet, many years after the road not taken has become but a twisted, outside influenced poisoned road, she awakens to the truth and all that never was, with a glimpse of what could have been. Set in the early 1990's, their almost love story is filled with music, layered with all that was never truly said between them, and the ghost of what they could be, together. What could have been can be still... Maybe, in a different time.
