“You know, I’m not a little kid anymore.”

the eldest crain daughter knew all too well that nell was no longer a little kid. however, the desire to protect said sister was too strong for the woman whom tended to ice people out. while shirley knew that nellie had wanted her twin to be at her wedding, shirley felt like she had done the ( r i g h t ) thing after she had sent a high as a kite luke away. ‘ no, you’re not. but, you’ll always be my baby sister --- i’ll always want to look out for you, even when you don’t agree with my choices. ‘ a beat. ‘ i wasn’t going to let anyone destroy how happy you were on your wedding day ----- not even him or myself. i hope that one day you’ll understand, nellie. ‘

                   a genuine smile spread across her face once shirley had sought out her youngest sibling. despite the grief that shirley felt due to the death of their mother, shirley knew that the twins suffered as well if not more. thus, shirley wanted to do something to brighten nell’s day.  “ go get your cup, we’re going to have a tea party!”

“It’s for your own good.”

           he had caught her crying over a boy much to shirley’s dismay!  after all, shirley did not like people seeing her cry. alas, she wore her heart on her sleeve.   she had been angry and still was, shirley certainly had her fair share of grudges that she refused to let go of. shirley wished that her sisters were older than they were for it was hard being the eldest living female in their family with the exception of their aunt. ‘ do you really think so, steve? i don’t even want to go to school tomorrow. what will people think? ‘ without a doubt, drama at school should have been the least of her worries after what was said in the paper about their family. ‘ i’m not nellie or luke, i don’t need you to brush up on your lessons from big brother school, by the way. ‘  a beat. ‘ — i wish mom was here. ‘ shirley knew that she was not like a kitten for she still needed olivia. at least, she had her big brother!;

❛ And for twenty-five years, nothing. Not a whisper, not a clue. ❜

❛ Look at her – I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way – what bliss. ❜

❛ Unhappy, darling? ❜

❛ Cara mia! ❜

❛ Last night, you were… unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again. ❜

❛ Sorry about the window! ❜

❛ They grow up so fast, don’t they? ❜

❛ Don’t torture yourself. That’s my job. ❜

❛ Don’t tease. ❜

❛ Let me go! ❜

❛ Gimme that! Stop it! I’m warning you! It’s not a good day! ❜

❛ Can’t you keep up? ❜

❛ I wish you’d drop by more often. ❜

❛ The seance - tonight. Won’t you come? ❜

❛ Wait a minute, hold on! You have to listen to me! ❜

❛ Please… Just hear me out… ❜

❛ What a miserable evening. ❜

❛ Did you hear that?! ❜

❛ But don’t you think that’s absurd? ❜

❛ Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard? ❜

❛ Darling, how does this work again? ❜

❛ Don’t be shy. ❜

❛ Can you ever forgive me? ❜

❛ You were so dashing, you could have any woman you wanted, dead or alive. ❜

❛ Water under the bridge. Forgiven. Forgotten. ❜

❛ You forgot our secret password? ❜

❛ Can I have ice cream? ❜

❛ You spoil me… mon amour. ❜

❛ Isn’t it too enchanting? ❜

❛ There’s a trick to it. Of course. ❜

❛ Oh, no. ❜

❛ What is truth? What is fiction? ❜

❛ But let’s get to bed. ❜

❛ Spirits above me - give me a sign! Shall I be joyous? Or shall I be damned? ❜

❛ Sleepless night? ❜

❛ I don’t think so. ❜

❛ Here it is - suspicion and anxiety. ❜

❛ Haven’t you ever slaughtered anyone? ❜

❛ I’ve been around. I pick things up. ❜

❛ It’s going to be fun! ❜

❛ Darling, I’m sorry! ❜

❛ I said I was busy! ❜

❛ I changed my mind! ❜

❛ It’s a promise. ❜

❛ You were terrific. ❜

❛ What a sublime evening. A theatrical triumph… ❜

❛ A Shakespearean delight! ❜

❛ You were so beautiful - pale, and mysterious. ❜

❛ You bewitched me. I proposed that very night. ❜

❛ You were so right! What an evening! ❜

❛ How long has it been since we’ve waltzed? ❜

❛ Sometimes people have had terrible childhoods. And sometimes they just haven’t found their special place in life. And sometimes they’re dogs from hell and must be destroyed. ❜

❛ Despite everything, I don’t hate you. ❜

❛ Darling, take care! ❜

❛ To live without you - only that would be torture. ❜

❛ A day alone - only that would be death. ❜

❛ You never really loved me! ❜

❛ Come, my love - to safety! ❜

❛ What can I say? He’s going to break hearts. ❜

❛ Oh, whoa, towel on. Please. 'Cause vampire or not, the last thing I want to see is your lost boy. ❜

❛ It’s time for a strategy sesh. ❜

❛ This is a long con. ❜

❛ Today was a total win for you. ❜

❛ Why do you care? ❜

❛ Some people just want to watch the world burn. ❜

❛ You mad at me? ❜

❛ I’m mad at the world, and you just happen to be in it. ❜

❛ I did a little spell at the game. ❜

❛ You betrayed me. ❜

❛ I promise. ❜

❛ I mean, betrayal and all aside, you had my back today. ❜

❛ I have never been welcomed anywhere in my life. ❜

❛ I’m always the extra. ❜

❛ I lied to protect myself, but in doing so, I hurt you. And for that, I will be forever sorry. ❜

❛ The time I spent with you the other night was one of the happiest moments in my life. ❜

❛ Trying to make a run for it? ❜

❛ I just noticed this gate wasn’t locking the other day. ❜

❛ I’d forgotten the world is full of nasty surprises. ❜

❛ I can explain. ❜
