    Gradually…..slowly….her eyes shined. The wet sparkle of her eyes seemed glitter in the dim light. Her beauty was still shadowed by the influence of darkness but the steep edged jewels which draped her body, marked their presence with any ray of light which passed by. A sound evolved. The soft clayey mud felt to be compressed beneath silent steps. Someone was sure to approach. Her corners of the eyes noticed two hands touch the heavily crafted wooden railing erected at her front. “Is it time?” a fragile yet completely dry voice slipped from the woman. A throat is cleared and in the eeriness of ...JmSone door

Honestly, I would rather be slaving at work right now than awkwardly sit in the kitchen with her. I look through the steam blasting through the kettle to make out the feint neon green numbers on the front of the stove . 10:52、 Dear God.
