Along the coast of the a great sea,4 Amore had all the toys she could ever want. She could go down to the beautiful beaches and build sand castles. Most of all, however, at seventeen years old, she had grown to be the prettiest woman in the kingdom.
Now, with the ability to choose practically any man in the kingdom, Amore truly did have everything she wanted. One day, while she was walking through the street toward the beach, she noticed a boy working at the fruit stand along the street. At that very moment, two young rascals rushed past Amore, and while the boy looked away, stole a few pieces of fruit and ran away.

I do not think that was your fault; those boys do that to pretty much everyone, and they are hard to catch.”
The boy, astonished to have been approached by the stunning Amore, took a moment, then worked up the courage to speak: Yeah, m-my father is m-m-mean to me sometimes, but i-it’s my fault….Uh….my name is Povero5 by the way.”
Amore beamed back at him, and again, Povero remained in disbelief as she invited him to spend the day with her at the beach. The two spent the whole night there, staying until the moon lit up the night sky while making love. Amore loved the innocence of Povero; Povero still could not believe he was with Amore. They fell in love from the beginning.
Since Povero was poor and Amore was rich, Amore knew her father would never approve of their relationship; thus, they could only spend time together in secret, they did not care. They were in love, and nothing else mattered to them. There was one issue, though, and that was Amore’s

When they told me that I couldn't switch and that I and I quote, 'will have to suck it up and deal with it,' I thought, I handled it just as well.
