She had tidied up her stationary store and closed for the night. I had waited by the back entrance, but as time ticked by, she never came out.

You will not find me in the kitchen with my hands in soapy water, looking out of the window, wondering if you’ll ever return because I have sto

Her hair, touched by the sun falls effortlessly into place, shaping her pale face as she looks to me with grace. Her blue eyes call to me like a siren as I fall deeper and deeper into her gaze. I catch myself gasping as if the icy sea has found its way into me and into my heart. I am pulled into her ocean eyes.
