I decide to do my make up today. I go for the nude look. After that I do my hair, preferring to curl it instead of wearing it straight. Satisfied with how I looked, I take my ballet shoes and put them on. I was just about to leave when my phone rings. I don’t recognize the number, but I pick it up
Rowan. I sit on the bench nervously as I wait for Ava. I know she’s going to be pissed, but I can’t help this intense need to be around her. This intense need to be there for her. She’d refused to tell me the date for her next appointment, so I went ahead and got it myself. I know that makes me a
