"Adele? Who was that?"

"Who was what?" she smiles back at me, looking almost too innocent.

I squint my face and look around her. No one.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom."

"Uhh, what are doing back so early?" she asks with the smile still spread on her face.

"No reason." I push past her and open the bathroom door.

No one was there. I walk past to our bedroom and walk inside. I grab the clos...

"Bye sweetheart," I kiss her forehead.

"I love you," she cries.

"I love you too."

I give her a strong hug before I run out the door. My beautiful Adele. The black cab is waiting for me, and I fall into the cushiony seat.

"Where to, sir?"

"The Hilton Hotel on Gallard Street."

"Yes sir. That will be 5 dollars and 15 cents."

I hand him a $5 and $1.

"Keep the change."

I grin knowing that I...

Berry took off and left. Ravi stayed rooted where he was. They had decided to bring everyone back here, while Ravi kept watch.

"I can't believe it just disappears." He mutters under his breath.

Soon enough, everyone was with him. Berry, E, Sage, Rae, Anabella, Skye, and Cannibal.

"What happened again?" Cannibal asked.

"Fluffy and Rylee were lured into that cliff face, and when Shadow, Berry, a...

Ravi skids to a stop in the middle of the camp. He gasped in breaths.

Everyone came out to meet him. Skye, Rae, Sage, Cannibal, Berry, and Anabella.

"What's wrong?"

"Where are Rylee and Fluffy?"

Ravi raised his head. "They're gone. Something drew them in. I couldn't get a good look at it. It made them go into a cave...then it disappeared somehow..."

Shadow slipped from his tent and stood in t...

“Hold the elevator!”

Juggling a cardboard drink holder full of soft drinks and a big bag of fast food, Lori made a halfhearted try to hit the hold elevator button. First day of family vacation and she was already exhausted. Jaime thrusted a hand through the closing door. He bustled into the elevator with a rolling suitcase, a messenger bag, and a large pink stuffed bunny.

Making room, Lori mov...

I’ve learned one thing since I landed at my grandmothers house. She’s not dying of lung cancer. I swear that the reason Mom asked me to pay her a visit was because she was dying. In fact I remember her exact words. “Emery . . .” Mom lets my name slide into silence of my bedroom, “Dad . . . His mom.”

Mom pauses, taking a small, short breath, “Your grandmother. Kate—Katie. She’s . . . Dying.” Mom’s ...

it wasn’t supposed to happen like this

there wasn’t supposed to be sparks,

we weren’t supposed to kiss—

because she had a girlfriend, i had a partner

but the urge to give in got stronger and stronger

before i even knew it she was in my head

my hands were in her hair

and she was in my bed

tangled in the sheets

knowing it was wrong

but god, i hadn’t felt like that for so, so long

Impossible love

Why now

Meeting above

But how?

Both love others

Hearts torn

Give another

Fickle forlorn

Part ways

Not more together

Long for those days

Retreating never...

“So, a man can’t hit a woman, but a woman can hit a man?” Naksh scoffed at Ivan’s recollection with a grimace. “Bullshit.”

“My wife, she would’ve smacked you for that.” Ivan exhaled a faint huff of a dry chuckle. His eyes were glued to the floor.

Seeing him like this made Naksh want to go on a tangent about her, but he bit back his tongue. They’ve been talking late into the night by now for what...
