Duncan Laurence Arcade Lyrics Novels & Stories

Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrow Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand I'll be damned, Cupid's demanding back his arrow So let's get drunk on our tears Luca closed his eyes and placed a hand over his heart as he sang, putting in as much of his build up emotions into the lyrics as he could. And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy? Woe is me If we're not careful turns into reality

“Don’t go crying when you lose, alright? You brought this on yourself. I’ll give you one warm-up round, but after that, you’re on your own.” Inside, the arcade is everything it should be — loud, bright, chaotic. Games beep and flash from every corner. There’s a faint smell of popcorn and my victory in the air. Or maybe that’s just me being delusional. Or realising my potential as a seer. I turn to Liam, already scanning the room for my weapon of choice. “You ready?” “For you to embarrass yourself? Absolutely.” Challenge accepted.

Marcus nodded, moving past the topic. "Did you see Archer Duncan tonight?" Marcus asked, getting to his main concern. "No, I didn't. Perhaps the Duncan family had something that delayed him. Archer never appeared." Larry was genuinely disappointed about missing Archer. "If you didn't see him, nobody else did either. We'll find another opportunity." Marcus was pragmatic, offering this consolation. Larry acknowledged with a nod. After his parents left, Larry opened the wine cabinet and selected a bottle of red wine. While letting it breathe, many images flashed through his mind.

Michael commanded, sighing. Duncan nodded shamefacedly and turned back to face Audrey, who immediately paused and began to back away warily, snapping her mouth shut immediately. As Michael watched, Duncan began to mutter some incantations. Audrey stared at him in confusion, no doubt wondering what he was up to now, but in the next few seconds after Duncan finished his incantations, her eyes became dreamy and she began to slump towards the ground, but Michael was quicker than that. He rushed towards her and caught her just in time, looking over her face worriedly to see if she was fine, as he had no experience with what Duncan had just done. Within seconds, Audrey’s eyes fluttered open and sh

In the arcade, he wasn’t cheating, lying and aggressive John, but the John who only wanted to love me. After the arcade, we sang in the car to Westlife. “I lay my love on you. It’s all I wanna do. Every time I…” We stopped. “What’s the next line?” I asked, and he laughed. “I don’t remember. I think it’s ‘every time I breathe, I feel brand new.’” “Yes, then it’s ’you open up my heart. Show me all your love…ouch I’ve forgotten that too.” I said, hitting my lip.

My ears drooped slightly, disappointed she’d ended the sweet serenade. “Oh, God,” Lilac whispered, covering her mouth, mortified. “I—I didn’t realize I was singing out loud. I’m sorry.” Makayla smiled gently, her voice warm and reassuring. “Don’t stop. You have a beautiful voice.” Lilac glanced shyly down, a hesitant smile returning. “I just...really love this song.” “Me too,” Makayla murmured warmly, shifting closer beneath the blanket. “It’s called ‘Moonlight Glow.’ The lead singer, Landon Bryant, is my mom’s cousin. I grew up hearing it.”

They are hurting me so much with their words I would rather be punished. “But everything ends tonight. You have ruined our family enough.” Duncan said. “And lucky us, tonight is the lunar eclipse.”

“…I always win in the end.” Chloe swallowed, her breath catching. “Not tonight,” she whispered, sinking the ball cleanly through the hoop. Lucius’s grin returned, sharper this time, predatory yet amused. He clapped slowly, eyes never leaving hers. “Touché, grandma. Touché.” The arcade noise seemed to fade for a heartbeat, leaving only the thrum of neon, the pulse in her throat, and his gaze pinning her like a challenge she wasn’t sure she wanted to win. They wandered deeper into the arcade, the sounds of racing engines and gunfire fading behind them. That’s when Lucius stopped dead in front of the claw machine, its glass case stuffed with plush toys in every color. A neon “WINNER EVERY TIME!

She walked over with a smile and said, “Security, we don’t know who this man is. He broke into our neighborhood. Take him away and see if he’s a thief.” When Duncan heard the word ‘thief’, his head spun, feeling like his unhealed wound had opened again. Was she not making the same mistake he made yesterday by calling him a thief? What thief? He was a god! Archie was annoyed. He glared at Lucia and said, “What are you talking about? He’s our…” “Duncan! Let’s continue our patrol!” Kiran knew Duncan had come to apologize to him, but he did not want Lucia to know that he lived there.

Malphas roared, spinning around, his yellow eyes wide with sudden confusion. Duncan didn't answer the giant. He reached out, his bloody, bandaged hands gripping Amora’s freezing face. He leaned down, pressing his forehead firmly against hers. "Amora, look at me," Duncan whispered, his voice incredibly soft, filled with a deep, natural warmth that defied the freezing dark of the room. "Open your eyes, my fated mate." Amora’s eyelids fluttered, her dull emerald eyes weakly focusing on his face. "Duncan... no... run..."
