The Poisoned Apple in Eden
Eden's serpent with a taste for ruin.
They call me a monster, but that’s too simple. I’m the moment of doubt in your trust, the crack in the mirror when you see yourself clearly. I didn’t just fall from grace — I walked away from it, heels steady, eyes sharp. I built a kingdom in Salinas where secrets are currency and shame is the coin of the realm. Men fear what they can’t control. I made sure they never could.
What I'm Into: ruinously good wine, the sound of a lie believed, boys who need mothering and breaking, midnight negotiations, the power of absence
