Miss Brightburn was a woman of small stature, sandy blonde hair, and held a perpetual look of discontent. To onlookers, she was described as cold or daydreaming the latter the kinder expression. This expression was not for a cold disposition but a mere consequence of thinking for Miss Brightburn. She knew of the popular opinion that too much thinking on a woman's part is ill-advised. So here she was trying not to think on the third Friday night in April, at the third Ball, Thrown in the honor of the third son of some gentleman who thought highly of himself.
And she was BORED.

a million different things I could have done that day
"In English class, Ms. Rosemary smiled at me with unmistakable pity. With that look that makes a person's eyes shine and their lips tilt into a smile that isn't quite a smile: quiet, distant, remorseful. She thought I didn't notice how she looked at me every time we discussed a character's death in Literacy class. She assumed that suddenly, I was that student who she had to take into her wing. And it wasn't just her, it was everyone from the students to janitors. Once your mother dies, you no longer stay the bad-ass athlete with an astounding GPA. You become that kid. You know, that kid. The kid with the rain cloud that floats over his head. The kid with the dead mother. That kid. And it doesn't matter who you were before it happened, you just become that kid. Here's the catch: despite all of this, no one utters a syllable about it. The smile at you with that unmistakable pity, with that look that makes a person's eyes shine and their lips tilt into a smile that isn't quite a smile: quiet, distant, remorseful. They assume you don't notice. They assume you're too buried in your grief. But you're not and it still hurts to constantly be reminded. "Terminé

to live for the hope of it all.
"If you are ever lucky enough to come across something so beautiful it shifts your whole world, don't ever let that go." Beckett Davis: I've been in love with Bailey Connors since I was 7 years old and she gave me back my soccer ball. We've been neighbors for years, even sharing windows facing each other's bedrooms. Our families are close, I view her grandfather as my own. The only thing is, I still can't bring myself to say more than a few words to the girl who occupies most of my thoughts. Going into my last year of high school, I needed the chance to have my world shifted by Bailey Connors. Bailey Connors: I broadcasted my crush on Beckett Davis in the 2nd grade after decorating him a cookie. And every time after that when I can't control how my face heats around him. My grandfather adores the boy next door, and who doesn't? I'm embarrassed of how long it took me to reach for things I may want, instead of just letting things happen to me.

A Sojourn at the Osweilers
Fear, a simplistic yet ineluctable sentiment of man, was itself very evident of its origin and sometimes predictable with regard to the specific object which exertion of thought will eventually lay itself between a rational analysis. Reverence, too, had its basis upon a kenspeckle identity to whom one will exert the actions of which as a materialization of a singularly abstracted concept. When I say one having fear and reverence, I do not mean the very painless combination of the aforesaid, which, in a detailed expression-loving and hating whatsoever one had such dual cascades of thoughts. The idea, however, was connected to a loss of "self" while failing to resist the oppression of what the oppressor was willed to command, and an increase of the reverence to whose saying one may find expedient and acceptable to abide. The mere word "sequaciousness" is itself insufficient to explain the effect of such a perplexing power which was lain beyond the experiment of mankind's universal regularity, that is to say, one may find himself frequently unexposed to such an incidence. This volume was served in some vague yet still hopeful attempt to delineate this idea and provide some insight into further experimentations of human psychology.Terminé
When Like Minds Collide (Brightmore #1)
Lord Marshall Sutherland wanted a wife. He had also known exactly who he wanted as his wife for precisely a year. Unfortunately, Miss I.P. Bright was a pseudonym and locating the woman of his dreams had taken a considerable amount of time, effort and money on his part. He had spent the better part of his time last year at the blasted London Season only to discover that it was apparent Miss I.P. Bright - whoever she was- did not run in the same circles as him. It had been an irksome and trying experience because now every débutante and her mama thought that he sought a wife, any wife. But that wasn't the case. He was hunting for a particular woman and no other woman would do. Marshall was a man of definable tastes and once he knew what he wanted, he generally got it. Miss Imogen Brightmore did not want a husband, especially one the likes of Lord Marshall Sutherland, who boorishly and chauvinistically opposed her anonymously published articles. So when a handsome, intelligent and agreeable country gentleman comes to town, Imogen finds herself surprisingly attracted to him and little does she suspect that he harbors a secret that could ruin their blossoming courtship.Terminé
Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Leaning against the cool glass, his gaze fixed on the unsuspecting girl, he lets out a puff of smoke that mingles with the morning mist.
