To be honest, Grace had been convinced that he would leave. She'd hoped he wouldn't; he seemed to be in a lot of pain, and not just physical pain, and her heart went out to him. It was horrible to think that he'd given to his country, and this was the thanks he was getting, absolutely no one to...

Grace flushed, hesitating as she let her hand drop again. Well, what could she have honestly expected? He'd probably have been through a lot... She couldn't think that he would have just opened up to a complete stranger. "Look, um... You wouldn't be an inconvenience. Really. It'd be nice to have...

Tessa watched as she disappeared under the water. It gave her a few moments to think about her response. What else would she actually be willing to tell her? Coming from where she did, she could imagine that she would be horrified to find out exactly how she lived her own life. Biting her lip...

Grace glanced back as she heard him fall, and she blinked, her eyes widening. Setting her sleeping daughter into the chair by the door, she rushed back outside, clearly concerned. "Are you alright?" she exclaimed. She at least had the sense to stop running when she got a little closer. She...

Tessa was definitely doing her best not to be obvious about staring at the girl. To be honest, though, she was... God above, she was incredibly beautiful. inhaling slowly, she found herself blushing furiously, even as she swam back a bit in a lazy circle before facing her again. "I love coming...

Grace was surprised by that, and she looked back at him, silent for a few moments before she swallowed hard. "You really haven't been here for awhile," she admitted truthfully as she glanced over at him. "The hotel went out of business before I even came here..." She trailed off, thinking to...

Grace smiled slightly at that. So she had been right; he was military. "Well, welcome home, soldier," she murmured quietly. He seemed to change the subject rather quickly, though, so she wasn't going to push the issue. She certainly wasn't about to bring up her own connections to the military...

Tessa was going to really need to calm down before long. She kept finding herself worrying that it was too much, that she was making too many mistakes, but it seemed Della didn't mind, or at least, she didn't think of them as mistakes. She watched as Della got to her feet and took her hand...

Grace swallowed hard, looking in the rearview mirror at her daughter. "I don't know," she said quietly. "The doctor can't get her in for an appointment until next week..." She thought it was pneumonia and that's what scared her. This far out away from larger towns meant it was harder to get...

When the silence stretched between them, she was convinced that she'd said the wrong thing. What if she wasn't interested? What if she thought that she was just lying? As she smiled, though, Tessa relaxed again, and she inhaled slowly before she lowered her gaze again. "Well.. I can show you...

Mia instantly brightened as the man started to talk to her. "Mommy had to go to the store," she said lightly. "And I'm too little for school so I don't have to go to bed early." Grace arched her eyebrow, but stayed silent. Mia certainly did have a bed time, but what she also had was a nasty...

Tessa blinked at that, startled, and she bit her lip, trying to think fast. Ashley, ashley... Was dumber than abox of rocks, but it was rude to say so, but she did have a big crush on the high school quarterback... She looked back towards the bonfire, smiling pleasantly. "Ashley, I think Jake...

Mia watched the stranger with the innocent curiosity that only small children seemed to possess. Quite fearless, she gave him a happy smile. "Hi," she said cheerfully. "What's your name?" Grace shook her head. "Baby, I don't know if he feels up to talking, okay?" she admitted as she worked to...

Evan smiled, watching the little girl race away. Goodness, but she was cute... She looked back at Kyle, handing him his coffee. "She's really cute," she admitted with a chuckle. "I wish I had half her energy. Then these double shifts wouldn't seem so bad, I think." She added the hot chocolate to...

Grace watched him for a moment, noting his tensed shoulders, the way he tried to keep his voice even despite it being a bit forced. It was obvious that he was trying and trying hard. She shifted her weight, bouncing a bit to keep warm before she looked back at the truck. Don't do it, Grace...

Tattoos? Hair dyeing? Different political views than your parents? Beverly Hills?! Tessa found herself staring at this strange young woman, and she exhaled shakily, swallowing hard. This was, so much different than she would have expected, but then, her parents were very restricting. They...

Grace Connors had been living in Sorrows End for about four years now; she obviously wasn't from around here, but she'd been running from a bad life, and this was as far as she could go to escape. Her past didn't really follow her here, but there were remains that still lingered. She had just...

{{More than enough, not to worry!}} Tess blinked, looking back at her as she spoke, and she found herself relaxing. It was surprising, really. She wasn't that comfortable around other people as a general rule; she was just too awkward, too clumsy. She lacked social skills. To put it mildly...

Oh, everything was NOT fine. Not fine at all. No matter how hard she tried, Tessa's mind continued to reel, racing through all of her recently abandoned lists, pointing out what was wrong, what she could have done different. The worst part of all of this was that she just knew she was being...
