Not forbidden fruit but a mistake all the same The sweetest of fruit will surely cause me pain Are you a lapse in judgement if my thoughts linger Are you a bad decision or a taste for my hunger

Not forbidden fruit, but a mistake all the same.
Such sweet fruit, yet costly pain.
Are you a lapse in judgement?
If my thoughts linger…
Are you a bad decision?
Or a taste for my hunger…

Karl set the groceries on the small table next to the window. Looking around him, he was still amazed at his luck in finding this place. He got to work. It wouldn’t be long before she arrived and he wanted everything to be perfect.
As he busied himself in the cabin, he thought about Rachel. People wouldn’t understand their relationship. So they had to be careful. If they were found out, it would ruin both of them.
Rachel was worth the risk.
It was cold in the cabin and Rachel was chilled easily. Karl set about lighting a fire in the fireplace to warm the room. Soon there was a cheery blaze going which added not only warmth but coziness.
The cabin was rustic, but comfortable. It had all the comforts of home. Since it was located in this remote area, Karl would not have to worry about either of them running into anyone they knew.
