Prologue.

"They call me the wild rose,
But my name was Eliza Day.
Why they called me this I do not know,
For my name was Eliza Day..."

This is the short bittersweet story about Eliza Day and her suitor Lincoln Smiths and their three day courtship. Eliza is a sweet, innocent and naive girl who is automatically drawn to the mysterious and dark Lincoln who has singled her out and is captivated by her beauty. However, if Eliza wanted a happy ending, she's never going to get it as she finds out too late...

"As I kissed her goodbye I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth"

It's based on the song by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue - Where the wild Roses grow...
