'Would I love you if I knew you? Would I have left you sticky notes of love on the fridge before you left for work? Maybe you would have loved me too. Perhaps you would have passed your hand tenderly through my hair, to put it back behind my ear or to untangle it tenderly by hurting me a little. I would have endured the pain without a knot because it would have been done with love.' Butterfly is a raw and powerful short story about a suicidal young woman that reveals the mind of a woman as she contemplates the life of being a prostitute while reflecting on her childhood and her place in the Universe
