But now, seeing Elysia do the same, he actually felt good. He even felt nice to be wanted.

Alice saw Zane’s sudden smile and was shocked like she’d seen a ghost. She thought, ‘Isn’t Zane always stone–faced? What’s with this smile?”

After Elysia got home, she took a cold shower to calm down. She kept reminding herself in her head not to get lost in

After copying all her handwritten notes to the computer, it was one in the morning. She found a website, made an account. and picked the pen name “Nightwood.” Then she posted her story in chapters and went to bed.
