Cat and Her Friend

This is one of the great romances of Lothere, though perhaps the most painful. One troubled character must learn to put aside his prejudices, and the other must learn to go beyond her fear.

This storyline takes us as far as their “first time”, but their story is ongoing, and there will surely be a Part Two someday.

Theme: Romance troubled by tragedy

Rating: R (graphic violence, sex, nudity)
