I can't think of a worse ending for Maddie than ending up with Wally
it was her own fault for getting attached to a soldier she had no business getting all tangled up with. such a foolish girl, falling for bucky like that — like there was no risk of him being another name on a memorial plaque. stupid, stupid, stupid. and now she had to live in her heartache and the way her stomach twisted in knots and her eyes barely felt inspired to stay open. she was so desperately sad, distracting herself with work. they said he was gone and she couldn’t even react. she had to wait until she was alone in her bed, silently sobbing into her blankets while she accepted her future was gone — her future. now she just idled the hours away by cleaning instruments, folding towels, and tending to minor wounds. she didn’t even hear all the chaos outside the tent until a nurse poked her head in and whispered something about some infantry coming back — but she couldn’t make it out. she didn’t care, not really. so she stayed in the supply tent, going through inventory on a clipboard as the others outside cheered for the soldiers return.

She re-reads her diary... Pages of Uncensored Desire...
She finds the pages she wrote when her desire was still raw, untamed, unashamed of its hunger.
The ink almost trembles on the paper. So does she.
“I want to be taken past my own thinking,” her younger hand confessed. “To feel someone’s certainty wrap around me until my body forgets how to pretend.”
Heat rises under her skin— the words are bolder than she remembers, reckless in their wanting, aching with a need she never let herself touch.
Another entry waits, darker at the edges, as if written in held breath: “I want to be guided, held in place, undone slowly— until my knees forget their strength.”
Her thighs tighten at the memory of writing that, the echo of an ache she thought she buried. The blush climbs higher, deep and undeniable.
She reads on, pulse quickening: “I want to give in. Completely. I want to feel someone’s hands in my quiet places— the ones I never show, the ones that ache the most.”
Her breath falters. Embarrassment and desire twist together, hot and alive.
God— she had forgotten how fiercely she once longed. Forgotten how it throbbed under everything she did, how it lived in her even when she tried to stand upright and call it maturity.
The ache returns now— slow, molten, impossible to ignore. It fills her chest, her belly, the secret places she never learned to name aloud.
She closes the journal with trembling fingers, pressing it to her heart as the heat spreads through her— not shame, but awakening.
She smiles, soft and shaken, because the yearning she feared had died is still here, burning steady, waiting for her to finally stop running from it.
She is who she is... Not ashamed. Not afraid.
A fire that pulses under silken skin, Each touch a claim, a truth without a law, A fierce embrace that burns beneath her grin.
No shame can cage the hunger in her eyes, No fear can dim the strength beneath her breath, She owns her scars, her wounds, her whispered cries, A woman who thrives in life, in love, in lust.
Her body speaks in rhythms sharp and clear, A language forged in passion and in pain, In every curve, a story held sincere, Unbroken, wild, defiant in her reign.
She is who she is— raw, fierce, and free, A force of nature, wild as the sea.
Beneath the Surface...
The absurd is the gap between what we hope for and what we find, and we often pretend it doesn't exist.... ... Beneath the surface, a storm rages, unseen by the world. ...
In her dreams, she meets Anais.
Simone dreamt, a timeless land, Where Anais Nin, a guiding hand. A conversation, deep and dark, A bond of souls, a new spark.
Anais, charming, open-minded, free, A fearless spirit, wild and carefree. She stood up strong, for her beliefs, A voice of reason, that never leaves.
She urged Simone, to write with might, To share her thoughts, to spread her light. A future bright, where women's voice, Would be accepted, a welcome choice.
Simone woke, inspired, aflame, To follow Anais, to claim her name. Would society accept her words, her art, Or would they shun her, tear her apart?
A daunting task, a heavy weight, To follow Anais, to seal her fate. But with Anais' spirit, a guiding light, Simone's truth, would shine so bright.
A vision clear, a goal in sight, To write with passion, with all her might. To share her story, her truth untold, A legacy of courage, bold and bold.
With Anais' spirit, a guiding star, Simone's future, could shine so far. A voice of reason, a beacon of light, Inspiring others, with all her might.
