Tell me about the girl my mother was, before she traded in all her girl to be my mother. What did she smell like? How many friends did she have, before she had no room? Before I took up so much space in her prayers, who did she pray for?

“Invite Me” by Jasmine Mans

As a thank you to @insanityofmams, that very kindly helped me with a thing.

I asked her what she wanted, and she said Zestial reading Carmilla some poetry... so here we go.

I really like how this turned out, and I hope you will enjoy as well!
