I give them all a smile, "As in the Rosaleigh?" The girl asks, Xander nods. "It's a pleasure to meet the woman who stole Xander's heart, that's if he has one." She teases and pulls me into a tight hug, I stand still for a second then return it. She smells like oil and gasoline but between there's still a citrus scent, she pulls back and gives me a smile. "I'm Carrie." Her eyes fall onto the ring on my finger.

“My goodness, you scared the life out of me!” Aunt Caroline was a short and plump woman in her mid-forties. Her hair was always dyed blonde because she took after her idol Madonna. She kept her face hidden with all the cosmetics she covered it. The only time she was seen without her make-up was when she applied facial mask. “Aunt Caroline?

She could feel something coming from the pup, as if it were reaching for her. She smiled. “What’s your name, pup, and how old are you?” “My name is Carter, and I’m thirteen.” They stood swaying side to side with Carter’s arms wrapped lightly around Leah’s waist.

Carolyn pursed her lips and muttered quietly, "This is what I said, but can you just ignore my words like a fart?" Ariella chuckled, "Carolyn, you have beauty, you have a great figure, and you have height, well, let's forget about that, maybe being in a coma for three years delayed your growth a bit, but at least you're still 5'3"!

You are clearly excellent yourself, why do you act like you're not good enough for him?"

Karrie’s palms started sweating thinking about when she should start grooming herself to have enough spare time if ever her dress rips or her make up look flops. She was beginning to panic. Suddenly, the phone that Andrin bought for her started ringing, pulling her out of her thoughts. “I fucking miss you.” His deep husky voice soothed her. “I’m a mess right now.

I had also occasionally asked about her and she telling me, her favorite color was blue, a social media strategist for different companies which had me gazing clueless for being out of the ordinary.
