After My Genius Painter Boyfriend Turned into a Frog

I'm Lily, the daughter of a tailor in the countryside. My biggest dream is to inherit my family's tailor shop and make all kinds of beautiful dresses.

Dante is the son of the village drunk who lives on the outskirts. He's a little reclusive, but incredibly talented, and his paintings are unbelievably beautiful.

We grew up together as childhood friends, and went from clueless teenagers to young lovers, shy and sweet.

Dante was always so, so good to me, until a female painter from the city came to our village.

After coming out of the painter Daisy's house, Dante spoke harshly to me for the first time. In a tone that made it seem as if he thought I was being unreasonable, he said:

"Is this sewing machine really all you dream of? Do you know how big the world outside is? Lily, sometimes you're so narrow-minded it makes me feel like I can't breathe!"

Then he left me and disappeared completely. Everyone said he must have gone to the city with Daisy to make a name for himself.

One day, while I was making raspberry cake in the kitchen, I happened to find a sketch hidden behind the flour jar. It showed me smiling as I made a dress at my sewing machine.

My tears fell into the cake batter, one after another. Mom came in and stared at me in shock. "Sweetie, why are you crying?"

I tilted my head back and sniffed. "I'm not crying. You are. Or maybe it's just raining. That's right, it's raining in our kitchen."

Mom probably thought I'd gone crazy.

Maybe I really had gone crazy. Otherwise, how could I see a frog drawing in the garden mud with its webbed little feet?

Crazier still, I thought the way it gripped a dead branch in its little feet and drew looked just like him.
