🦋 A MOTH IS LOVE 🌿 Justin Empire * A magical romantic fantasy set in 1970s Britain. * 🏡 THE NEW ARRIVAL My name is November. Yes, November. 🍂🍁 And I live in a rather lovely flat in Britain, sometime in the 1970s. 🇬🇧 It's a proper little home, too. None of that cheap wallpaper that looks as though somebody has pasted yesterday's newspaper onto the walls. No, I've got beautiful paintings, smooth, expensive wallpaper, and a two-inch shag-pile carpet in a colour that Pantone haven't quite discovered yet! 😂🎨🛋️ I've recently moved from the countryside into the city, and things are looking rather promising. I've secured a job at the largest investment company in the country, although I'm starting right at the bottom of the ladder. 💼🏢📈 I've got a new television 📺, a new sofa 🛋️, a lovely little flat 🏡 and, most importantly, a brand-new cat. 🐈 Life is rather exciting at the moment. I often sit in the garden, particularly when the afternoon sun is shining, and think about all the possibilities in front of me. ☀️🌷🌿 I like to imagine the different directions my life might take, and I enjoy the feeling that I have some control over the decisions I make. I'm single, and although I occasionally feel a little lonely, I'm quite happy with that arrangement. A new home, a new job, a cat. What more could a girl possibly need? 😂 I want time to grow, discover myself and understand what I actually want from life before inviting somebody else into my little ecosystem. Besides, I have other relationships to maintain. Shoes. 👠 Clothes. 👗 Jewellery. 💎 Oh, I absolutely adore shopping! I spend practically every weekend browsing through the shops, finding something beautiful, bringing it home and proudly displaying my latest purchases at work the following week. My colleagues must think I have an enormous wardrobe. And perhaps I do! I consider myself to be in an open relationship with my possessions. We simply break up whenever I go shopping, and I invariably return home with somebody new. 😂💍👠 I do try to save money. Honestly, I do! Every payday, I put a little something aside for my rainy-day fund. Unfortunately, my rainy-day fund has a rather peculiar habit of disappearing whenever I encounter a particularly attractive winter coat, a new pair of shoes or a lovely piece of jewellery. A girl has to have standards, doesn't she? 😁🛍️ My little pastime has become something of an obsession. Work, shopping, home, shopping again. Sometimes
