"I don't like the notion our personalities are predetermined, and I don't like the idea that who we get along with is determining by something so distant. I believe in destiny, and I believe in the future, and that people can read it, but I think of it as multiple branching paths. I think life...

"This is the only room that was all my decisions," Daizi said, holding a pillow in her lap. After eight months of pregnancy and another seven where she was holding a baby most of her time, she wasn't used to having her hands not resting on or holding something, "Mostly, anyway. Dark suggested...

"If you can get the kettle, that would be helpful. Everything else fits on the tray," Daizi said, not asking any follow up questions so Sally didn't need to admit to anything around ears she didn't want to have hear it while she picked up the tray. Instead, she made some simple comments about...

"It's no problem at all, you've dropped everything for me more than enough times," Daizi replied, "Would you prefer to talk in my office? I have snacks and tea all prepared, I just need to bring them up. I don't really mind where we sit, I just thought you might prefer privacy."

"That is no problem," Dark agreed to the plan, popping his hand in Ivy's mouth to stop her from eating their dog. "Whatever you need." Daizi opened the door swiftly, having prepared a whole tray of snacks and tea for Sally, just like Sally would do for her, "Hey Sally," she said, stepping to...

"I think that is a wonderful idea," Dark said, a small, proud smile lighting up his face. He had spent such a long time hoping and encouraging Xander to take care of his mental health, the fact he finally decided to was... beyond words. He knew from experience how important it was, and how...

"Oh, she loved it," Dark answered, explaining how Ivy was a little hesitant at first, but soon adjusted to it, and Daizi explained how for a few days Ivy would be on a diet of strawberries and breastmilk until they knew she wasn't allergic. That night, come bedtime, Daizi slept comfortably...

"I told you he wouldn't care," Daizi chuckled softly, smoothing Ivy's downy hair while resting against her husband's shoulder. They were excited at least, it was a big milestone moment. "Oh well," Dark sighed, but then handed Ivy off so he could cut the cake for the twins, "It would not have...

"I'm glad you had fun," Daizi said cheerfully. "I'm sorry you weren't here to watch Ivy eat strawberries for the first time, although I'm sure it's more boring in reality than I felt like it was. She made a little bit of a mess, but she seemed to like them." "I enjoyed being able to feed her...

Milo let out a breath of air, and sat with his best friend until the time came where they both knew it was time for them to go home, because they couldn't stay out all night. And although he was still afraid of it, Milo vowed to himself that, in the morning, he was going to ask his grandparents...

Milo didn't know what else there was to say, so for a good fifteen minutes or so he sat in perfect silence looking at the road below them, his camera untouched, although he still had it with him. He always had it with him. Finally, he spoke again, "Thank you for bringing me here."

"Cool," Milo replied, sliding the pieces over a few times before putting them in his pocket. If he tried to solve them now, he'd be there all night not saying a word to another soul. "Thank you. You should get your eyes checked, even if you don't need glasses. It's good to assess if there's...

"If I took off my glasses and if I looked at you from the middle row of seats, and you were in the front seat, your face would be blurry to me. I can't even type at the computer without my glasses. With how much my mom moved us around, you'd think I'd have had worn an old prescription, but...

"I don't even know what kind of car my grandparents drive. I know my granddad's is grey and my grandma's is white, and my grandma has a duck on the antenna. That's about the extent of it. Sometimes my granddad will point out a car and say how beautiful it is, he'll talk about the lines and...

"I wonder what it was like for them when they realized your mom was pregnant. I can't imagine they didn't know how tough it was going to be." Milo commented, turning his head slightly to the side was he watched the road, "No, I meant... How did you know it was a corvette from this far away? I...

"What made you decide to stay?" Milo asked quietly, shifting so he was cross-legged rather than holding his knees to his chest. There was a lot more he might have wanted to say to Xander, but instead he just said, "I'm glad that if I have to stay, I have a friend here." Then he followed the...

"Thanks." Milo replied, "You don't annoy me, either. I'm just tired and frustrated, I guess. You ran away from home and now live in a gothic manor so I know you understand, but. It's really hard when you spend so much time preparing for one thing, and then suddenly you're having to deal...

"I don't want to be this way," Milo admitted, hesitantly, "But I don't have the manual, I don't know the steps to take. I want to just wake up and be different but I'm too self-aware to delude myself into thinking that's a possibility. I know that's now how it works, but I don't know how to do...

"Isn't happiness all about avoiding pain?" Milo asked, looking sideways about Xander, "How do you go about settling in permanently when you know it's just going to hurt more when it's over? I'm living on top of a Jack-in-the-Box. Or that game that's on a timer where you have to put all the...

Milo watched him, not really knowing what to say to that, and he tore off the label on his drink as he considered how to respond. Once the label was fully off, he looked down at in his hands and frowned, wanting to rip it up but not wanting the breeze to take the pieces away and litter them...
