“Okay, now I want to know.”

“Does my safety mean nothing to you?”

“Guess.”

“You know it’s not a real one, right?”

“Come on, we both knew I’d survive.”

“I didn’t!”

“Aww were you worried about me?”

Update

tw: loss, cancer

Hi again. Sorry I've been MIA on this site. Unfortunately my mum passed away in April and there has been a lot to sort out so I haven't had a lot of time for writing.

However, this is changing NOW!

From now on, I'm back and I'll be far more active again! Can't wait to get back to this community and to working on my manuscript again.
