auxiliary
He brought in the auxiliary forms. A look of fear came over her face. She thought to herself this is it. When he sat them on the table she let out a sigh of relief. They weren’t divorce papers.

The entrees were delicious. I could not believe I had managed to cook the meat perfectly, and for all these people! It had been a wonderful party.

crescent
1 pre-bough crosaint, 1 slice of american kraft cheese. 20 seconds in the microwave. Rosie saw it on a TV show, only with an open fire. “Mm, Mommy, they’re delicious!” Her smile lights up my day.

maze
Will I never get through this never0ending maze? Life changes faster than they say it does, and all too soon I’ll have to choose. I can’t do it, can’t do it, can’t do it, can’t do it.

odds
What were the odds of my winning this desperate game? I want her. I need her. but we we both so determined to make this work that we didn’t see the heartbreak on the horizon, like clouds fading in the sunset; faint, but there nonetheless.

runway
Strutting down the runway, I think of how badly I wanted this. The flashing lights, the stunning fashions. Then I remember the hunger, the fear of going under the knife.
Then I remember: I’m wanted. People wanted me. I’m…perfect.

cactus
I was walking through the garden store, looking for the perfect plant for my new house. “Juliet! Don’t touch those!” I took my one year old daughter’s hand and told her, “That’s a cactus. You’ll hurt yourself on it.”
“Spiky!” She exclaimed, pointing at it.

clamp
I stuck my hand inside my daughter’s bucket of sand that she’d brought home from the beach. “Ouch!” I exclaimed, pulled my hand out. A crab had clamped its claws on my finger!

gown
I was panicing. Going to prom together was a horrible idea, absolutely horrible. But when she opened the door, and I saw her in her beautiful gown…I knew in my heart whatever we did would be perfect, as long as we were together.

view
The view wasn’t clear, through the glass wall separating me from my newborn twins. Alex and Juliet, they had been born several weeks early and needed intensive care.

The view from my apartment was less than perfect. I overlooked the underbelly of a dirty, grimy city, without seeing the real gems within. But the girl inside my apartment made the view worthwhile. “Hey babe.” “Hey…” I pulled her close and kissed her.
