My parents are the reason why I am who I am today. Sure, at times they can be annoying or overbearing, but at the end of the day I'm grateful for their guidance. But I know everyone isn't as lucky to have a set of parents like mine. Which is why I don't take a moment with them for granted. You never know what life has in store.
"How much for the piano?"
Laura frowned at the older man with grubby fingers. She moved to stand in front of the family heirloom, spreading an arm across the keys as though protecting it. "Not for sale. My grandmother gave me this."
The old man rolled his eyes, then walked away. "I'll be back, young lady!"
A long stretch of vibrant green shrubbery surrounded the castles of Berkshire, various hues of orange and yellow bouncing off the two-tone bricks as the sun rose in the wee hours of the morning.
A flock of geese passed overhead just as Jack drove into the parking lot. He drummed his fingers on the wheel before sighing heavily, exiting the vehicle. Today whether he liked it or not he was going to tell Hannah that he was in love with her. And he just hoped that everything would work out in his favor.
My eyes flitted up to the TV screen. There was an incessant ringing, almost like a buzzing in my ear and I hadn't been able to rid myself of it. I moved past Tyler to grab the remote, turning up the episode of Friends that was playing. The buzzing did get a little softer, but it didn't completely stop. I groaned in annoyance. Maybe I needed to see a doctor.
A scream ripped from Aliya's throat as her husband tripped and fell onto the train tracks. As he struggled to move, the Amtrak continued to plow on, unaware of the body lying there.
Tom's life ended within seconds.
When he touched me, I knew I'd be scarred for life.
I screamed and tried to get away, but he held fast and slammed me back against the wall, hard. His lips wandered all over my body and I sobbed and squeezed my eyes shut, praying that this would all be over soon and someone would come and rescue me.
Ana slid the sealed envelope under the door and walked away from the house, the wind blowing in her hair. She just hoped that Colin would find the letter before noon. If not...bad things would happen. To both of them. And Ana knew she wouldn't be able to deal with that.
"A group of twenty scientists were killed early this morning when an unnamed gunman opened fire on a remote facility in Queens. There are no details on motive or the names of the victims as of yet, but the police are theorizing that maybe the shooter, who is still at large, was after information that the group was working on for the government. Back to you in the studio, Sondra and Jay."
"These aren't even real pearls, are they?" Jared asks with an amused smile, examining my blue dress. He then takes my hand in his and spins me around, which makes me laugh brightly. "You still look good, though. Knockoff pearls or not."
I can feel the heat rise to my cheeks as I lean forward to hug him. "Thank you, Jared."
"Anytime, beautiful." He says into my ear, voice low and warm. It makes me shiver as we break contact and stare into each other's eyes for a moment. "You want to know something?"
"What?" I whisper, eyes flitting down to his lips for a moment before looking back up at him. It feels as if we're the only two people in the room, in the world.
"I've never met anyone as wonderful as you. Everything about you is just...amazing." He exhales and then brings his face closer to mine—only to place a warm kiss on my cheek. It dampens my mood a little, but I brush it off because just being by his side is enough to satisfy.
