“There’s my grandson!” Mrs. Martin smiled as Katie walked over holding Jeremiah’s carrier.
David quickly put the diaper bag on the ground and took the carrier from Katie. “Let’s go,” Katie said, grabbing the diaper bag. “I’m starving!”
They walked through the front of the diner and heard the faint “ding” as they entered, which alerted Rosalee, the hostess, that she had new customers. She was a very plump woman with slightly greying blonde frizzy curls that she piled on top of her head. She wore bright red lipstick and heavy blue eyeliner and everything about her bounced as she walked.
“Why, hello there!” she said cheerfully as she approached them. “You brought some guests with ya today, did ya?” she smiled.
“These are my parents,” Katie said happily, and our family friend, Stephen.

“Hello.” Mr. Martin smiled.
“Hi.” said Mrs. Martin shyly.
“Why hello to you!” Stephen said, with a big grin, holding onto her hand as he shook it.
Rosalee shook his hand a little longer than necessary. She blushed and pulled away as she realized the group was still waiting. “Oh, uh… will it be a booth or a table, dears?” she said.
“Booth, please.” David said.
Sally’s was much like other diners, with a black and white tiled floor, black tables and red chairs and booths. They kept their specials written on a large black chalkboard over the counter. Rosalee led them to a booth in the far left corner of the
“I don’t want her Syd, I want you.” Syd blushed. “I want you to Steven.”
A few minutes later Tucker reappeared in the room carrying a tray filled with all of the things Lyanna had asked him to prepare. He set it down upon the coffee table that ran between the two sofas and then he asked if he could get anybody anything else. Alex had told him, “No thank you.” and Lyanna then said, “That will be all, my dear.”
Luke put his hand on Mikes shoulder. “Mike I know you don’t believe that bull you’re saying right now.” Toni pleaded with Mike, “You have us so walk away from her.”
Izzi looked around her. Everywhere were colors. The trees with their dark bark and ever changing leaves. The blue of water flowing in a nearby river. The pinks, purples, and oranges of the flowers beneath her feet. She looked down at her feet. And she saw nothing. The wind was all she was. She didn't stand out in the world filled with beauty, all she did was blend in, drifting in the breeze. It made her want to cry. Izzi longed for color. She longed to belong in this world. She wanted it more than anything. She sat in the grass for hours and braided flowers into her colorless hair made of wind. They wouldn't stay in long but she didn't mind, as long as she could have the colors for a moment. Eventually the sun began to set and she headed home.
The pause in her momentum must have signaled Ken that he needed to explain further. “On my desk ... I put it to her on my desk!”
"That's on the third floor," The receptionist nodded politely, "The doctor will be running tests shortly."
Harry's eyes go wide for a split second. He starts laughing, "You've got to be kidding me." I stare at him, "Are you being serious?"
"Why did you not heal yourself?" he asked, knowing full well that one of the perks for being a witch of the west was that water could heal almost any of her ailments. He was displeased to see that her translucent skin magnified the dark circles under her eyes.
I checked my phone, 3:26 am. Phil had stopped crying, but he still leaned with his head against my chest and my arms around him "Phil?" I asked, "can you please tell me what's wrong? I want to help you, but I can't do anything if I don't know what's wrong," he'd been avoiding the question all night, but he seemed to have calmed down and I thought now might be a good time to bring in up. He looked up at me with his green, blue eyes still wet from the tears "I thought me and Dan had something special" he said with no emotion is in his voice "I always thought we were more than friends but I guess I was wrong," he wiped the tears from his face and stood up.
Flashes of memory rapidly traveled though Allie’s mind; those captivating eyes and that beautiful, alluring smile; suddenly, she was transported back to that past December day, standing there on Meeting Street. Swiftly, Thomas was upon her; his lips on hers were hot with need as he took her mouth with his. Quick intakes of breath and grunts of disapproval reached Allie’s ears from somewhere in the room. To kiss this way in public, was very inappropriate, but she did not care; she returned Thomas’s kiss with a fervor that matched his.
After roaming around for hours trying to find the treasure, Vivian finally led the group into the bat infested cave.
“I’m fine, it’s okay.” I answer. It’s not. I’m not okay. I’ve been “released”, as General Tre would call it, on medical terms. No more army, no more fighting, no more justice. Normally I’d be happy, but under the circumstances given, it’s completely different.
“Well, hello to you too. Also, in response to your question, I sent my friend’s son to go greet you since he lives near your dad anyway. He lived in America for
As if he could sense my probing gaze, he whirls around to face to me.
He smiled back and took her hand, leading her to the dance floor where a large amount of people were dancing
