THE FLOWER AND THE FLAME by Lexi Adair
+A FREE SHORT STORY+

     When Madison's whirl-wind affair ends in a humiliating break-up she does what any sane girl would do, lock herself in her apartment and cry into her Chinese take-out.
     As far as she was concerned love would never bloom again for her and the passion she once had had gone out like a match.
     That is until a spark is rekindled with an old friend and she learns that love is like the flower and the flame.
