Jodie wrestles searching for a particular item in her purse. She pulls out her phone to ignore her husband’s gestures while he drives around the winding road.

Jodie texts her friend Belle, letting her know they should be arriving soon. She throws her purse in the back seat, looking annoyed. Gordon dabs his hand on the steering wheel, turns the music down to speak.

“Sorry that I missed Joel’s f...

Cassia dusted her face with a pink blush. Combing back her long dark hair, her ladies in waiting came in her room to style it. She smiled a little bit in her mirror, thinking of the face that prompted this new desire to look her best at all times. She hadn't seen him since that fateful night when he saved her from Cato, but he had infiltrated her mind, and now she was always on the lookout for him...

Haze is content.

She can’t remember the last time she felt like this.

Aziza asked Haze to come to her room when the moon was high in the sky. It was a secret meeting. Haze gets it. Aziza’s parents, the Kings and Queen still are wary of witches. That’s the nice way of saying they hate her, but feel obligated to let her stay because she saved Aziza.

So Haze snuck in.

“I have an idea!” Rachel exclaimed as though she had never thought of an idea before.

“Why don’t we go to the movies tonight?” Rachel asked twiddling her thumbs.

“That sounds like a great idea! I’ve been so bored at home lately. But what should we watch? We haven’t seen anything in ages except for Pocahontas and the Seven Dwarves which just aired on tv.” Jason took out his cell phone from his ...

“Tara, tell me the truth.” Marren says. She’s frustrated. Maybe frustrated isn’t the word. Defeated may be a better description of what she feels. “Is it enough to leave him? Is it enough that he just doesn’t care?”

Marren is pacing through Tara’s kitchen. It won’t be long before she wears a hole in the floor. Tara worries about her best friend. She hasn’t seen her this upset in a very long time...

Why doesn’t he just understand?

He thought Jeremiah was so good at reading him, but not today.

Roman longs for that understanding. But maybe he doesn’t even comprehend what he is even thinking himself.

So he goes to someone who might.

“Dude, what’s wrong? I can see it on your face,” Cross points out, a worrying look in his eyes. Roman doesn’t normally express his emotions out r...

"There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about," Max said to his best friend, Marc.

"There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about," Sandra said to her best friend, Sarah.

"Ask away," Marc responded with the same comforting smile he always had.

"What's on your mind?" Sarah asked, knowing to expect the worse whenever Sandra had a problem.

"I cheated." Max said, looking do...

"Hey, man." I slide into the booth, smiling at my best friend sitting across from me. "How's tricks?"

"Pretty decent, can't complain. I got you a beer," he replies, sliding the bottle over to me. I grab it and grin. "Cheers!" We click bottles before both taking a sip and placing them back down in front of us.

"Thanks, man."

"No worries. So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I grin sheepishl...

Do it this way
