I lured and tricked Tig into a random hookup on social media. He has no clue he’s anything but random to me. He has no clue we’ll play by my rules.

I am a woman-empowering French influencer, and I’ll teach the once famous tattoo artist a lesson.

This is my true story. I hope you enjoy reading it as I enjoyed writing it. During the dry season, my homeland was hotter than a dragon's breath. The land would have cracks in it like the back of my grandfather's hands, like a spider’s web. But when the rains were plentiful, the landscape was covered with greens and wildflowers and lush tree leaves thick like my mother's hair.
