wander ~ Chapter 13
"So, you like someone, huh?" My ears flicked forward, my eyes re-focused, I shifted a little in the seat I'd taken. Lexi sat atop the desk in front of me, the two of us the only people in this room; from outside rumbled the familiar dull roar of...

She spoke about luka's latest test, and how much he'd missed having me there to help study. then came nadia, or as ma put it, 'your sister'. it sounded like her latest relationship had hit choppy waters, bringing out the very best in her.
Heart of the Forest ~ Chapter 5
