A/N: I'm two days late in posting this. This is a belated birthday present for my sweet little sister from another mister, Klaroline-Deprived. Her name itself is indicative of what she loves the most. So sis, I got you your beloved Klaroline for your birthday. Belated Happy Birthday, baby sis. Love you. xo

Chapter-1: Prologue

Life.

It is a fickle thing.

It's a concept based on hope.

And hope is what he used to believe the foolish live for.

He used to pride himself for his lack of foolish notions.

He used to live life to the fullest because he knew how quickly it can end.

Until her.

Like a ray of sunshine, she lit up his world, leaving him blind to anything else but her.

She taught him to hope.

But all he hopes for is her.

Will his hope pay off or will he perish like all the foolish men before him?

A/N: It's a flashfic. So chapter lengths will be about 500-700 words. But that means you'll get daily updates. :)

Thanks for reading.

Share your thoughts with me and leave a review.

Wish my little sis a belated happy birthday. :)

See you tomorrow.

Take care.

Ann
