Standing outside the psych ward, Iris Ray St. Michaels, causally smoked her 3rd cigarette in the last 10 minutes, waiting for her father.
She wasn't usually a chain smoker, but the smoking helped her control her breathing.
Inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale.
Light and Repeat.
Hearing the squeaks of the nearly 20-year-old hatchback, Iris threw her cigarette on the ground and squashed it beneath her boot, watching as her father pulled up with all of the windows down.
"Hey there crazy! Hop in, tell me everything."
This was going to be a long ride.
Iris thought to herself, and she wasn't just talking about the car ride.
YoYo! Yes, YOU!
Thanks so much for checking out the first page of this novel.
I hope to make it very lengthy, and filled with gushy, oozing love. I'm not on a strict schedule for when I'm releasing new chapters, so tune in and keep a look out. You're likes and comments would mean a whole lot, as I could always use the encouragement.
