We go back to silently watching the clouds. I must have dozed off a bit because I woke to Ed cradling me like a baby and I was more than happy to stay pressed up against his chest, listening to his heart beat. "Ed," I admired his chiseled features. He was so beautiful, so tanned, so god-like, so perfect. "Yes, Sweetheart?" His eyes were spilling over with more love than I could hold in my two arms. "Don't forget me when I'm gone." I whispered. I had to watch as he cried again. Pain twisted up his face into an agonized expression. It was my turn to be strong. I brushed my thumb across his cheek, wiping away the salty tears. He held his hand over mine, keeping my hand on his beautiful face. "Lainie... I've met an angel. I've held an angel... that's not something I could ever forget."

Heaven Knows
His warm hand stays at my back and I can feel his body keep me close. I nod and listen to his heart again. Worry suddenly starts to ruin this beautiful moment and I whisper, "What will happen if there's something wrong? What if your faith isn't strong enough?" Tyler's eyes soften at this and his thumb tenderly rubs my cheek. "I'm not afraid of what's to come. I have you." "I'm not as strong as you are." "That's what you think. You are much stronger. I can see it in you, city girl." I smile at this but my heart isn't convinced. He doesn't know what I've been through. He doesn't know how weak I can be. How much of a coward I am. But I promise myself that this time I'm not that woman. I'm his. I can't just run away from my problems like I've done all my life. He needs me no matter what happens. So I'll stay against his chest; listening to his heart until it no longer makes its beautiful melody.Complete

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

She falls hard for him, her reality of love far greater than her fantasies, but when a familiar pain resurfaces in paradise, and she feels like she may be walking down memory lane, will she have it in her to fight? Or is the fear of going through anything that resembles her childhood greater than her dream to finally find love? Love meets reality in this epic novel. *** "Excuse me, you seem lost in thought. Did you want to buy something or do I need to direct you home again?" "What?" She laughs, "It was a joke, Jeez. The last time you were in here you seemed like you had a sense of humor. Where'd that go?" "I have this neighbor who basically sucks the life and humor out of people. Unfortunately, I am a recent victim." "I know how that feels, trust me. I have one in my life too."

Everything Has Changed: Book Two
Tears rush down to my cheeks and splatter on the wood floor of Danny's university apartment. He has an imprint on his face from the creases in his pillow and keeps blinking and rubbing his eyes. I sit on the edge of his bed and his hand rests on my knee. He's crouched in front of me in a pair of basketball shorts. "I don't know why I did it." I hiccup. "I should've just said no!" I take a shaky breath, my chest moving erratically. "And t-they all saw me freak out!" Danny's fingertips skate up and down my thigh and he doesn't say anything. "I mean, who wants to be with somebody like me? I can't even handle a sip! Y-you should just go and find somebody who can handle herself! You deserve better than me!" "Don't say that." He murmurs, raising my hand to his lips. He kisses each one of my knuckles with love and care, and then he looks up at me and smiles softly. "I choose you. No matter what the circumstance, no matter who comes along, I pick you. I'm here for you and I'm here with you. I'm fighting for you and I'm fighting with you. I love you. I don't care if you have to stay up all night to cry. I'll stay up with you. There is nothing you can do to make me love you any less, and there is nothing you can do to make me leave. I'm here, right here, forever."

LUMINANCE (COMPLETED)
My heart beat so fast, and I could feel the ice-cold wind against my skin, coming from the open window of my old room. The sound from the TV was loud, but it felt like my ears were shutting every noise down on purpose. I could only feel my loud, painfully beating heart. This is the first time I've tried doing something so... unforgivable. But I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't! My head shook with panic, fear, and coldness. I gripped the razor tighter, my fingers wrapped around it. I shut my eyes and spoke to whoever might be listening. Someone, can you hear me? You've seen me. You know what's happening-you know me. You called me by name once. "It will be painful when you start, but it will fade away soon. Trust it, trust me... just do it!" I could feel my pulse rising and the cold sweat forming on my forehead and temple. I moved my head closer to my wrist as tears streamed down my face. Sabi nila, kapag mamamatay ka na, parang nagfa-flash ng mabilis sa 'yo ang naging buhay mo-everything at once, mabilis-just for a few seconds before the tragedy hits you. My eyes were closed, and it felt like my ears had shut to avoid any noise. With sweaty palms and forehead, with an aching heart and a tired soul, I saw your face. With trembling lips, I smiled. Hanggang sa huling pagkakataon, ikaw talaga ang makikita ko? "Maybe in another universe, Scal." I moved my hand closer to my wrist. I waited until I felt the coldness of the small metal in my hand, when a strong wind hit my skin. All of a sudden, there was an unfamiliar caress in my heart. My ears opened, my eyes slowly opened, and his sweet, warm voice was so clear through my blurry vision that it made me forget about the small, dangerous metal in my hand. I focused on his voice, and my breath hitched. "Hi, everyone. We are Velvet Upholstery!"Complete
