    It had been a dismal winter. Nothing but rain and sleet had been falling down. Only now it had begun to snow. The forecast for the next week was to return back to the sleet and rain. But that wasn’t what was worrying him. Oh no. What was worrying him was the fact she had called in the middle of the night and asked him to meet her at the corner of 5th and Main. Tugging on his old boots with holwww.onedoor.cces in them, he made his way down to the desired location. “I need to tell you something,” she whispered to him, looking into his eyes. How he had landed with the most beautiful actress in their city was b...7jkone door

    Dating is Tricky

Her hair wasn’t ebony or chestnut, gold or russet, but a dull shade of blond that someone had once likened to “possum fuzz.” Her skin didn’t shimmer or grow tawny in the summer sun, but was a sickly pale that barely freckled. And her eyes? They were green, but so is grass, and so are leaves. In Mold-Upon-Turnip there was a cruel woman who held more wealth than God, and possessed less sense than a child, Princess Jet. She called herself princess because of her lofty view of herself, and her d...7jkone door
