Going through puberty, Gloria's joints hurt. The bones in her legs ached and the joints in her elbows creaked. Every part of her body just plain hurt. "Growing pains" her mother called them. Her body was stretching and growing and she was physically changing into an adult.
Sixteen now she felt the same pain, only in her heart, when Henry stepped onto the bus that would take him to war. Anna was crying, Sam looked distraught, and she wondered why adults forgot to mention that growing up hurt just as bad on the inside as it did on the outside.

Moonlit Embrace
"I waited ages just so I could meet you again." 𖤓☽ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ Hands gripped my hips, and I was tugged back against a solid chest. His arm came around my waist, and his palm landed on my hip. In one swift motion, he had me secured against him. Every inch of my skin that was flushed against him heated. Even through the thin fabric of my dress and his blazer. Turning my head to look up at his face, I didn't care that my lips had parted and that my eyes probably looked hazy and a little clouded. Keeping our gazes locked, my arms lifted of their own accord, my hands linking behind his neck. Without really knowing how, my hips started moving. And we were dancing. The memory of us dancing when we were children crossed my mind. How ironic it was that we'd found ourselves in the same situation after twenty years and now that we seemed like completely different people.Complete
