It was so easy for Ella to dance when she was alone. It was far more difficult when her father had killed that fire years ago. She switched on some music. Indie music in words she didn’t understand well but she knew them all. Ella had looked up the lyrics once and she knew she liked the meaning of the song but could no longer remember them....

“I don’t wish to steal kisses

I wish them to be given willingly

I don’t wish to steal your heart

I wish to take it in my arms

I do perhaps

Wish to steal you

Away.”

Anna saw the quote shared between two graves. Engraved in each also, were hands reaching towards one another. Both were left in eternal yearning. Anna hoped that they had found solace in death but it wasn’t definite....

“I don’t belong here Bramble- I really don’t.”

“Yes you do! You’ve got Phantom and Saph and me what about me?”

“If I stay I’ll stick out I always have-“

“I promise you won’t, the point here is to be accepted!”

“I do- I love you that way Moon…”

“It’s not just you it’s everything. I’ve got to get away from this. ...

I wish to be angry

I wish to be mad.

Now it was getting more difficult. A bead of sweat dripped down Adeline’s face as she rushed to meet her deadline. It had to be printed and done in three minutes. One more tap and… done! Sent to the printer. She grabbed it while it was still hot and ru...

“Well hello there dearie! You look awfully cold”

Midge had pulled her car over, well into the evening. She couldn’t bear to leave whatever this was to fend for itself in the cold....

“I know you love him but bringing him back isn’t going to fix how you feel”

“It will. I know it will. Oatmea...

He dabbed the many little cuts on Taylor’s arm and sighed, annoyed. “I don’t get it. You’re twenty something and don’t know how a mandolin works?”

“I just- we didn’t have that and no one ever taught me”

“You have to be careful. You can’t just recklessly use any kitchen tool.”

“Well you said-“
