<img src="https://nbenevid.neocities.org/artistic-blossom-bright-207962.jpg" alt="Love Tree" style="width:504px;height:408px;"/>\n\nLove\n\nThis game is about love. Love can be a game to some and to others life and death. Can you see yourself doing something you wouldn't normally do? Could you betray someone you care about? Could you keep a secret from someone? If you loved two people, could you choose if you had to choose one? Will you start out on one side of love and end up on the other? \n\nLove can be a tricky thing when it comes to the heart for all involved. \n\nRead each section, then choose your side by clicking on the word that appeals to you the most as you move through the story. What word reaches to you, what stands out? Be warned, some passages may not give you a choice and instead you must follow your destiny. \n\nBackground:\nFor twenty years Kassie and Liz swore that nothing would tear their friendship apart. They vowed to each other that no man would come between them. The two best friends swore to never lie to each other. Their vows were their oath for life, something that was sacred to them.\n\nBrad was the kind of guy everyone admired and looked up to. He knew that he would fall in love one day. Though, he never thought he would fall in love with two different people let alone two best friends. \n\nLove remains love. When hearts are involved, love becomes chaotic. When it becomes a triangle, love can be confusing and daunting. It consumes us all in some way, shape, or form. Yet, love...never changes. People change because of love. Can you see yourself as one of the [[characters|Characters]]? What is [[love|A Calling]] for you? Will it change you?\n\n<iframe width="420" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RHcRPtUTWJw?autoplay=1">\n</iframe>

When he whispers "I love you," the sound reverbrates my ears, such a wonderful sound to hear.\n\nI told Kassie she can never know love as I have with this man. I told her that one day, she may find this in another man. She smiled at me and said she was happy for me. Though her eyes, did not seem happy. She seemed sad and withdrawn.

I thought finally, love has come to me...and here, it came in two.
