"I don't want to spend the rest of my life, buried in my system. But I don't know what I want to become." I groaned, burying my face in my hands. "I think it's too late for me." He laughed at my plight before carefully removing my hands from my face. "It's never too late, Bee. You can't know what you want to become overnight." "But, I will be twenty-five soon.

MIA Mr Peacock was preparing me for Pandemonium when my door opened, and Peach walked in. “Hey girlfriend!” She dragged her words in excitement. “Why is the Peach so Peachy?” Mr Peacock asked her. “Well that's because I'm five thousand dollars richer! Yes!” She pumped a fist in the air, as she waved a check around. “How'd you get five thousand?” I laughed at her jubilee dance. “I sold the watch of course,” she drew closer to me. “Fifteen grand like I said.”

My two pups are still underage and I won’t allow Masuzyo to hurt them to get to me. “Is there something I can find for you?” she asks. “No, thank you, just point me in the right direction.” She does and I go to the records room, going back two years. I think back, trying to remember the exact day. It was late fall. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground. October. I find the right year, then the right month.

Cashier: "…" There were people waiting in line behind her, and whispers were audible: "Can she afford it or not? If she can't, she should step aside and not hold up the line." Aria stood there stunned, only able to look at Isabella. "Isabella, can you lend me twenty thousand?" With so many people watching, could she say no?

After shaking her head to get rid of the image in her mind, Peach objected, “Grandpa! What are you talking about? I won’t get married! I will always be by your side to take care of you.” “Silly girl, I will be dead sooner or later.

Peach’s conditions were tip-top, however, Cy knew that her granddaughter also had high standards. There was no man of similar age in Village Pescado who did not like Peach. As Peach grew up over the past two years, countless people had proposed marriage to her.

Now, she was gone and although I didn't know her that well, I felt like I'd lost something special all over again. My day was pretty much already ruined and probably nothing would change it. "Hey there, pretty" a voice said. It was a man who looked to be in his early twenties. He had muscles and curves in the right places and his slicked back hair made his gray eyes even more enticing. In short, he was a motherfucking work of art. But like I said my day was already ruined and not even some Greek god could change it. "And you are?" I demanded as coldly as possible.
