Scarlett And Phineas: A Love Story
Scarlett looks away. "I will pray for your soul, Phineas."
Phineas smiles. "The trees pray for me every day when I walk past them. The vines, the grass, every creature around pray for our souls when we are dead."
"I pray you will fall to the ground, decompose and be used as fertilizer, causing the land to flourish. And since you are an honorable and chivalrous man, you may even be the savior of the many creatures, some of which you love dearly."
"Thank you, Scarlett. I can only pray for your death similarly. It's the least I can do."
