Cracks In the Facade

It was just a flirtation. Neither thought it would morph into true love. Then they fell--really hard. They lived to please each other. Their “best-face-forward” approach to life worked like magic for a while. Facades crack, and veneers fade, revealing unadorned reality. Can they embrace the truth?

Yes! Beneath that lovely face lies the 'façade!' Those cracks do reveal the truth, don't they? Lovely done, Janice! Cheers, Gershon
