A Secret Wish 

She; across the seas, had heard about this relative since she was knee high. They said he was a tyrant and a boisterious no good fellow. He valued only his opinions and thought that he alone should  have a voice.

She left him high and dry. Search high search low, he couldn't find her - his wife of  three years. Three years was more than enough time for her to admit she had made a huge mistake. She made good trusted friends, saved some money and found herself somewhere else to live.

Here she was in the big apple for the first time. It was November. And her curiosity proded,  to see this creature everyone wanted to stay away from. One of his wife's friends reluctantly agreed to take her there; but in her mind she was thinking, snow would be the easy way out.
