"Is she still asleep?" Amelia asks as I walk into the room. She's already half dressed, sliding on a pair of track pants after having already rid herself of her sweater, now wearing one of my Pink Floyd t-shirts. Damn, I got caught up in being a good uncle and I missed the show. "She's completely a
This is the shit that really sucks. She's not been looked after, not for a very long time at least. That's my job, that's what I'm here to do. Whatever she wants or needs, I need to figure out a way to get her to understand that she's not an inconvenience, that she never has been. She's a gift, a pr

I need a little independence, some space, and it's not because I don't love you because I love you so much. It's because I love you that I don't want to rush back into living together. I mean I'm definitely going to stay over a lot, but we will get back there" His thumb skims across the thin materia
He begins to introduce me individually to everyone around the table. I take in all their names and say hello to them all when I reach someone I recognise. Max introduces her to me as Francesca and the name clicks in my head. It's Francesca Sutton. She's some kind of influencer on I*******m, I used t
