The reason why she wouldn't leave my mind was how she looked. She looked like she was deeply lost in her own thoughts. And she was blissfully happy there. For four months, I kept wondering what she was so happy about. What she desired. No answer.
And then when I purchased the "Love Metal" album by HIM, and the last song The Path is when I got the answer. I was looking down on Scarlet in a private garden. It was night. She was surrounded by red roses. It was as if no one could touch her with their baggage. And I knew what she desired. She wanted to be with someone she loved. She wanted to be held in her garden. She wanted to stroke a woman's hair and whisper sweet nothings.
I took off my headphones and then fell asleep.
The next day, I woke up and then the name Scarlet was in my head.
I tried to name her other things but they simply didn't stick well. She was stubborn and her name was going to be Scarlet. No ifs ands or buts!
Picking the last name was easy. When I was little, I always wanted to last name one of my adopted daughters Dawson. I got that name from Titanic. And to me, Scarlet was like my daughter. Well, she is my daughter.
On December, she had a voice. And she would not shut the bloody hell up!!!
I decided to get myself several spiral notebooks and write down whatever she said. The things she said were somehow important. I felt like they were gonna lead me somewhere.
