Failing Moon Wolf Chatter
Tarrin watched as Josey hesitated, looking at the many dishes in front of her. “Look, if you want to apologize for yesterday, apology accepted. You don’t have to go through all this for me. I’m just your employee,” she said, looking at him confused and glancing at the tulip bouquet on the table’s edge. Tarrin cleared his throat, “I... I know. This isn’t an apology. I’m in the public eye, so having you dressed properly is strictly for my benefit. Eating is just a necessity, and I was craving the food here, which you also benefit from. I didn’t want you, I mean us, going and sitting through the recital with our stomachs growling.” Tarrin glanced at her, trying to read her response, but she simply nodded and gently grabbed a bite of food. In the background, the sound of the violin played in tune with the waterfall while they ate in peace. Now and then, Tarrin caught himself stealing glances at Josey. He was still enamored by how beautiful she looked. “Say something. You’re blowing
Failing Moon A Different View
Tarrin and Josey were ushered to the VIP seating, where they could see the concert hall’s stage. It was a perk of Tarrin’s company funding the upgrades of the hall and supporting the students. “I’m impressed. Who knew I would end up inside someone with such pull,” the wolf commented in Tarrin’s head. Grinning in a cocky manner, Tarrin sat next to Josey, secretly glancing at her. “Wow, I can’t believe the number of people here for the recitals. I bet Emily’s nervous,” Josey said, looking over the seated crowd below. Tarrin nodded, “The recital is a good start for many students planning their musical future. Scouts and certain company exec’s come looking for a promising start to represent.” “Speaking of company executives, do you smell that? I think it’s, damn, we have company,” the wolf whispered in Tarrin’s mind. Tarrin rolled his eyes and looked around. He didn’t know what he was smelling, but then the familiar cologne of Jared Hunter hit his nose before he spotted the CEO
Failing Moon Coughing Exit
“Hey, that’s not funny! I get your point. Let’s focus now, please... geesh,” the wolf whined. Tarrin smiled with satisfaction that it worked. Josey was waiting anxiously for Emily to come up on stage, and Tarrin’s mind went to something else. Before the interlude ended, Tarrin leaned over and peeked through a small opening in the heavy red curtain. He could see directly where Jared and Olana sat in the reserved booth. Olana was smiling and then leaned over and whispered something to Jared, and he nodded and whispered back. Did they really know each other? Were they responsible for Josey getting stuck on the roof if that’s the case? Both of them had been at the building that day, and Jared’s coat looked identical to the one in the CCTV footage. He made a note to mention it to Mara when the recital was over. If those two were friends, then they may be working together. But for what purpose? Was Jared one of the hunters or related to the ones that killed his father? “You’re ful
Failing Moon Missed Chance
Josey shrugged, “I think I already mentioned it once. He used to show up in the warehouse when my parents were working. His Father’s office was nearby at the time, so Jared would hang out with me as I waited for dad to finish for the day,” she replied finally and then said softly, “He was there the day it happened.” Tarrin knew what she was talking about but asked, “The day the fire happened?” Josey nodded and responded, “Yes, he showed up right as I was about to run in there. Damn, he hasn’t changed one bit now that I think about it.” “There is something oddly familiar about that guy, I’m telling you. It isn’t safe for him to be around her, Tarrin.” Tarrin nodded silently at both Josey's comment and the wolf’s warning. Once Mara returns, he will know more about this Mr. Hunter from Rapture investments. When they finally reached the house, Linux spoke up, “Hey, I, uh, think I’m gonna crash at home today.” Tarrin faked a cough again and said, “I’d rather you be at the house
Failing Moon Found On The Beach
Linux dropped Josey off, and she felt a bit of relief being home. Tarrin was his usual arrogant self in the end, and she felt stupid for feeling maybe he had warmed up to her. Turning her phone off, she decided it was officially the weekend and wouldn’t answer it for anything unless it was Emily or Cece. “See how you like that. Answer your own emails!” Yelling it out as she set her phone down, Josey plopped on the couch and stared at the TV. The apartment was quiet, and the sudden lack of noise made her uncomfortable, so she decided to head over to Cibus street and check out the food markets near the water. “Three for a dollar or two pounds for three dollars!” The vendors called out, enticing passersby with their catches of the day or homemade goods. The smell of cooked fish and bread filled the air as Josey casually strolled by each colorful stall. She even ran into Mr. Huen, who gave her a tough front but treated her to free fish bites in the end. Seeing one of her favorite
Failing Moon Hustle and Giggle
Josey lifted her eyelids just before their lips met, hoping to catch a glimpse of the sparkling glaciers the mystery man's eyes held. Instead, she was met with her sister's puppy dog brown ones looming in her face."Get up, Josey, you're gonna be late!" Giggling at Josey's sleepy lips perked, Emily made kissy faces at her sister."Oooo..I'm Prince Charming, kiss me!" Emily jumped into her older sister's lap, enjoying the rare chance to poke fun at her."Get off me, you dork!"Josey pushed her laughing sister onto the ground while trying not to laugh herself.Only Emily could make Josey feel embarrassed and cheerful at the same time."Spend more time worrying about yourself, Em, it's already 7, and you're going to be late as well!" Noticing the time on her alarm clock as she turned in her bed to get up, she told her sister this. Emily was still trying to gather herself from her laughing fit."Alright, alright. Don't go back to sleep, and today is the big day! I even made you breakfast!"
Failing Moon Savior of the Day
Josey went left onto the sidewalk from the apartments and headed straight for the Terrace Pharmaceutical building. Even four blocks away, sitting on the main intersection, the tall building loomed over the city, visible enough that Josey could never lose her way. Passing by a bus stop, she was grateful for being able to walk and save money. People waiting for the bus were dressed in business attire, making Josey hopeful that she would soon be dressed the same one day. Checking out the city, the feeling of cool summer nights boosted Josey’s mood. This time of year always reminded her of when she and her sister bundled up and visited the nighttime markets along the shore, facing the vast ocean, which was one of her favorite things to do. She and Emily would only spend a little on snacks but still enjoyed looking over all the handmade dishes and items vendors had to offer. At the last block, passing through the familiar smell of coffee and baked goods, Josey was lost in thought. She di
Failing Moon Impeccable Timing
“I shouldn’t be the one to whom you are giving the apology.” Jared just looked at her and smiled as he handed her back the clip board. “Ah, Sorry?” The receptionist asked, still giving Jared a big bright smile. “I’m sorry Josey, this companies' employee’s manners are a bit lacking, are you sure you want to try working her?” Josey held a straight face, as he turned and asked her this, trying not to giggle. “Yes, and mistakes can happen, can’t they Mrs...” Josey looked at her name tag. “Mrs. Brine?” Looking at her, Josey mused that the receptionists smile was about to become permanent. So much so, that she wouldn’t need clown makeup to scare little children. “Miss, it’s Miss Brine.” Her eyes rotated to Josey a moment before going back to Jared’s face. “Thanks Jared, you’re a life saver. Can I please have a badge now?” Josey asked, holding her hand out. “Anytime Josey, if you need me, any further, I will be on the 6th floor for a meeting.” Patting Josey’s head, Jared turned
