Just as he'd had his way with Lakshmi, and with me., and God only knows how many other girls. If it hadn't been for his seduction of Lakshmi, he might have lived to a ripe, old age. We never would have crossed paths. It's funny how the people you meet can change your life, ain't it? Lakshmi didn't deserve to die. Her kind of goodness and beauty did not deserve to die. I mean, he didn't kill her literally. No, she jumped off the roof of Sweet Maple Cafe when he told her he didn't want her anymore. Didn't I tell you that? But, let's not split hairs here - she still died because of him. I guess she wanted to be worshipped after all. Don't we all?? |
