“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Madge declined as politely as she could. “No, Sissy!” Posy wailed. “I never see you anymore! Come be with me!” “I’m sorry Posy, but I can’t,” Madge apologized to the little girl, whose lower lip was quivering dangerously. “They have strict rules about these things down here.” “This is about Gale, isn’t it,” Hazelle said bluntly. “Madge you have to understand-” “This isn’t about anyone,” Madge interjected forcibly. “We all have assigned rooms, and that’s where we’re supposed to sleep. “Madge please just let me explain,” Hazelle practically pleaded, and Madge had no choice but to comply. “He’s terribly confused, that hard-headed son of mine.

She felt so safe, so warm with little Posy breathing softly against her skin, that she had fallen asleep almost immediately. She hadn’t even cared that the little girl had drooled on her. She went about her day more awake, more present, finding herself laughing along to the stories of the women she washed dishes with, and actually paying attention in her hybrid classes. Hazelle had sternly forbidden her from skipping meals, so she endured an awkward breakfast, with Gale glowering at his plate the entire time. Hazelle must have said something to him the day before though, because he didn’t say a word to her. Both Vick and Rory had been ecstatic at her ‘return’, and Madge couldn’t help but feel warm at their enthusiasm over her presence. It’s lunchtime, and she had just come from her class on combative ethics. She was looking around for Hazelle and the kids, when she was suddenly swept up into an unexpected hug. “There you are!” Thom had exclaimed. “Thought you could pull a disappearing act on me, huh?” After getting the ok from Hazelle with an encouraging smile, Madge sat down with her friends, and became quickly immersed into a playful banter that she had so badly missed. To think she nearly let

Rude?” Grant cut in with the snarky remarks towards his aunt. “Tante Lou, you have just been plain mean to the last couple gals I’ve brought to meet you.” The nervousness that was in his eyes before was gone. Now it was replaced by anger. He aggressively whispered so that Vivian couldn’t hear from the other room, but Tante Lou could understand loud and clear, “And I won’t stand for it anymore! If you don’t have anything nice to say, then for God’s sake, don’t say anything!” Tante Lou stood there for a moment, almost in shock.
Garrett’s 6 year old sister, Megan, fled down the steps, sprinting the whole way down. Sweat had plummeted down from her face, leaving beads of sweat dripping on her forehead. Her eyes were glistening and glazing with tears, to the point where she was about to cry. “Garrett! I-I didn’t know what to do!

“So what’s going on with you and my brother that fight sounded pretty bad” Lexi started as she pulled sheets and a quilt from her closet. Zoey frowned, sitting on the edge of the bed “my parents are getting a divorce and I had to choose between staying with my mom and leaving with my dad” she sighed.
