My cold skin was slick with morning dew when I pulled myself from it to start the hunt for a trinket to present Missy with. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIaGAK5AOC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63JTGttXPf
I still had some time before her voice would call on the wind. I'd find something beautiful to add to the collection I had already bestowed her with. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hqKvV7WyI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oQLP6cYH4
Last time was a crumpled can stuffed with plucked wildflowers. I could do better this time. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZtiM2bj4r
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrujvy6PdCd
My hunt turned up an empty paper cup still with the plastic lid and straw attached. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkohzXXDl7
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg7uxemxtS
My heart thudded with excitement when I pulled the straw free to place it down. I turned my attention to the plastic lid that I flipped over and sliced with my claw into segments. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1THJpw3pWR
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuCKeGWr9h
Ripping the paper cup along its length, I tore it into smaller segments, each with poked holes in the middle, so I could split it like I had done with the cup and fold in the rough edges. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdaCWBwScg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKh2gRXchJ
I pushed and crimped the paper until all the layers came together on the plastic bottom. I forced the straw back through, squashing the top into a ball. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjU9NT6Vr
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdI7YCjoXn
I held up my flower with pride, twirling its torn petals to see it present the flashes of colour that had been printed on the cup. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKF91dtYVI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx9xDLZ5xf
Would she like it? Should I make more? 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqGiU6xGZV
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQEGIMrp2m
I scanned the roadside to see a bottlecap embedded into the gravel there. There was a plastic bag further to my right. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRCZAOlF0o
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n04jMuxGD
One would do then. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XJhvK6fZK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcmjs2MsK3
Bartie was already there when I made my travel with the straw gently gripped around my teeth. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVkqUlqGK
He held a magazine today that was folded on the crossword page. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqUxv8ipDj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ52aDVfxb
"You be good to her, Soup!" he warned me with a raise of the paper while I continued past him "don't be giving her trouble, you hear?" 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue0fZlEnnI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lFtjcYSiT
I caught sight of Missy's red hair stuffed beneath her blue helmet outside her house. She had on a dark red trench coat over her yellow dress that tried to peek beneath it. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb8Js4JvzM
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgljkelnsWE
She was going somewhere. She never wore that red jacket any other time. It was her best one. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPi161pLlx
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRzAW15Pyc
I raced along the tracks towards her and watched as she wheeled out her scooter to haul up the stand. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhvNKX0UYV
Everything inside me fell at the sight of her laying down a bowl of water and thin vegetable soup in the grass she stomped down. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI20Bi2nun
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi01sOjbMp
"I've got to go" she apologised through her saddened tone "It’s not much, but I think it should be delicious."338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdWr5QOYSp
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjBrL5s3tj
Wasn't she taking any for herself? The crate was only filled with parcels again. She didn't have room to fit food. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReccHGOKaS
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjMqvrvENP
I lifted up the flower to her when she sat on her scooter to heave it forwards off the stand. The whole thing lurched but she wrestled it under control so she could start it up. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQ7Rrl9Ox
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LO6Xg5eh6
"Thank you" she smiled warmly to it, her eyes softening at the gesture "I'll hang onto this, OK? Maybe the people at the big city will like it?" 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJM6nNkaXI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQeXNsihV
No. It was only for you to enjoy. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljPdXyFr2
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUH0Lvn5rf
"Got to go!" Missy panicked and shoved the flower down the side of the parcels when she looked ahead to see the train racing along the tracks "love you! Be good!" 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X8dNHiTnL
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLfvFsy9Cs
She took off as fast as her scooter would allow her. It cut a path through the grass and struggled to keep up as the train easily graced the beginning of the bridge and powered on. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs3Ry3PgyI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4OlVzSRgu
I watched her speed for it desperately. Inside, I was hoping she would be just a little bit too late so she would have to come home and enjoy her time with me. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrmKYcDGC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlqNn2gXYc
I saw her skid when she turned the corner to fly across the tracks and rush to park up her scooter while the train pulled into the station with a huff of its brakes. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yS0xl09RT
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sVbWRUgVx
Her figure fumbled with her parcels and the flower before jumping aboard with only mere moments to spare. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYmnUrBtFr
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83qLJACdPl
The train blared its horn then peeled from the station to quickly gather speed past the house. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6zdpNQASu
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JSBnwmXaq
Missy slammed open a window, waving out to me. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnw7QeN7UX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuJkfQbTxb
"I'll see you tonight, Soup!" she called out "sorry!" 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYVCeIBDjX
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxp3neSPK
Her hand hung out the window, waving for a little while longer, until it was pulled back inside by the momentum speeding her off into the distance. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7u3JnM5EO
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpipY3YMG6
I didn't chase her today. I just sat there with the watery soup, trying to drag out its bitter flavour that was far too diluted to even be called food. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyPg57A6BL
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8ZON0Fn9i
Not her best. She must have put everything into that nice one last night. It was a compromise she was willing to take. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB24ozOc7Qw
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoyPEwaktW
She'd be gone for hours. Maybe I could do something helpful and try to find a way to trickle some extra funds into her pocket? 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91p3qSQjG5
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIcluZBrt0
I peered back to the house she had left in a hurry instead.338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Z2Wx1yfE
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwhizUJzuf
She'd benefit more if I prepared something for her to come home to. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JSSmmksM6
It'd be a nice surprise to have a warm house and hot food. She could even believe Bartie had waddled his way down here to do it for her. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ2cOFwA92
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0TjEBQ2bL
A stretch, but a believable one. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO4tAzFY8Y
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ggoHoDjs
I knew Missy didn't have locks on her windows. I could climb through the kitchen one and start there. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbgKRdBX65
She always locked her front and back doors. There was no use trying that. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqcIyu2UNT
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2hK6iPxVc
I clambered over the sink piled with dirty dishes and pots beneath the window, hooking my toes in the basin on my awkward crawl through. I desperately gripped onto the stone bench so I didn't slice my feet on the knives laid across it and go tumbling to the ground. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ckg4Rr5Oi
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyVlOHMBoS
After managing to unfold myself from the kitchen bench, I stood there to grimace at the mess left behind. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4VoRsje9M
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EAODaFwMw
She really must have been in a rush. The pot from last night was here too with some water in the bottom to soak off the residue that clung to the water like a film. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQUNVoMig8
Utensils littered the cold water I dipped my claws into, and splatters of soup were still speckled across the oven behind me. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDglZcNb2yt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxEdYLnilX
She'd be so pleased she wouldn't have to tackle this when she got back in her exhausted state. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ903MyWzKDm
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mAm7ma8aV
I'd be better to do this in my human form. I could even give it some care too with a hot shower and proper food from Missy's fridge. She wouldn't notice if a little of it went missing. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzcpZG28QW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDHMFucLxI
I shivered in anticipation at the thought of warm water and soothing soap sliding over my skin. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Mu3VzkGj
It was a luxury I hadn't had since I decided to live like this. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxFJYW2KbA
People weren't exactly throwing bars of soap or bathtubs on the side of the road either. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TD9gtSUXZ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveaPLX2VqN
Finding the shower was easy in her little home with barely any rooms within it. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw48AS4xDoj
The kitchen and loungeroom beside it were one combined area by the front door. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfzkSJP2Zs
The door to the left was her sewing room. The one beside that was her bedroom. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHuOoWIm8W
The back door had another to the right of it where I finally found the bathroom and the shower piled with all sorts of scrubs, lotions, and soaps.8964 copyright protection334ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYS1MWx2zQ 維尼

I didn't know how dirty I was until I reformed my skin and stepped into the warmth billowing clouds of heat around me. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN4KQ7PIs0
The water ran like mud from my body I scrubbed at and slathered with all sorts of food-scented products. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCohnfyotl3
My black hair was saved from most of the neglect since it fell out when I took my wild form. Having it sprout back so rapidly made it burn at my scalp I tried to calm with cooling shampoos and conditioners. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9trVqZ8XQ9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3xHFwrFSw
Missy didn't own any clothing that would fit me, and I wasn't about to go digging through her belongings to make sure. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqR9dM1xtc
The dark blue towel I buffed my body with became my new skirt I tied around my waist to have some sort of decency during the housework. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMjWSmHvyN
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaGO1CVTmp
I flipped on the radio she had nestled on a cupboard in the kitchen and felt the energy of the music flood through me. It motivated me to hunt through the cupboards for spray and cloth so I could start on the splatter on the walls. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEf88J3cKl
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1u0pszRMQ
I drained the old water to fill the sink and pick through the dangerous submerged mess beneath the bubbles clouding them. I bopped to the contagious tunes, tapping my feet happily while seeing things slowly come together. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhHn3tGBY4
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnctWJFxdq
Her couch in the living room had the crushed blanket on it refolded and draped in the middle. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rOWV1wBef
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYjJ9UWdlj
The coffee table had the magazines across it restacked into the corner. The empty cup of coffee dropped into the sink, and the ceramic coasters of mosaic landscapes were replaced in their holder. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYuq1FEEwc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWd3GMVQON
The back door was thrown open to let through the fresh breeze and filter out the stale air. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9qGNNMEoa
It swept through the home and back out the windows I peeled up to help move the positive energy through the home. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6TYRksmXc
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqFPrjufTJ
The garden a few steps from the back stairs was looking choked with weeds. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6ckkMIPt
I snatched up the basket at the backdoor and headed for the rows of vegetables drooping under the sunlight. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR3Y87iIxg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV467NTeIIJ
Hosing them down filled me with satisfaction. Plucking out the grass and baby thistles gave her beloved vegetables a new hope in their raised beds I skimmed through for the biggest heads I could pluck. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXM1b8Ecq4
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjraW9ZeC1Q
The garden was still in early stages of replanting. I only had a few carrots and potatoes to heap into the basket looped over my arm. The pumpkins tangled in a growth of leaves were far too small to rip from the stems, and the new row of corn was barely breaking the surface of the dirt. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif7yIZP27f
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqErRNHERm
Missy was also trying to grow a little bush of blueberries in the corner. There were strawberries showing promise through their nibbled leaves I lifted up to inspect. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTOYSTmZ0g
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYrSdH0YsS
Looked like rabbits. I'd have to deal with them before she baited them and tainted their meat. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0RPJnIl1h
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAf7kuB8E7
The new vegetables made a nice pile on the benchtop while I fished through the fridge to find the soups Missy had stored into reusable containers. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFsaSJssQa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCDEGaXBxF
The watery vegetable one could be poured into the nice beef one to bulk it out and diminish the poor taste. With all the flavour in the beef one, the added vegetables would give it more heart. The fresh ones I had washed and cut could help stretch it further for her without destroying her hard work.338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fO81S8xpW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdqINwoZCc
The stove clicked and snapped to life to steadily boil the soups I poured into the pot over it. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlw4OmSyI
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb1FRKQbsX
A few herbs from the window wouldn't hurt. I threw them in too and increased the heat before continuing my cleaning of the house. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeXB6bYIw6

Music thumped through the silence when I stepped back to admire my work. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6of870bHQ
The combined living area looked homely and inviting. On the coffee table I had even placed the baby thistles pulled from the garden into a little brown bottle I found sitting beside her bin. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4H1pVNEg2
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW6fnxet0Z
Somehow, it worked. The spikes of the thistle leaves and the peeking purple fluffed at the top of the close heads added a rugged beauty to the wooden table. It wasn't soft wildflowers, but it was something I was sure she'd appreciate nether less. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBMTlaNuw
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eTFodbJYL
Saving the soup from the heat, I poured myself a steaming bowl and nestled into her couch to enjoy a job well done. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMltGtTWEH
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6oIHgYslh
The flavour was as hearty as the original batch with the added rosemary clinging to the beef and the basil wrapped into the multitude of vegetables buried beneath the brown broth. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFV73K5YO
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcwKTPb7E
Missy will love this. There wasn't a hint of the sadness that was the soup she had thrown together today. She'd come home to something that would warm her soul as much as mine. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIjCTXVJhR
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40rnJq5GdC
I smiled around my spoon, savouring every bit of warmth slipping over my tongue. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PQPnWnIn
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9bwgmngg
It'd be better if she came through those doors, expecting me to be here. She'd smile at the sight of me, and I'd go over to kiss her cheek before asking her how her day was. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSDOrVTGJs
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJY7Hs7vvP
Maybe she'd have stories of the big city to tell? She did like this one man who pretended to be a statue in the square. It fascinated her how resolved he was amongst all the faces refusing to look at him. Missy liked to throw change into his hat just to see him smile. She understood his struggle a little too well. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzZII8CrSg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsZdocD2lS
She could come speeding home, screaming out my name and jumping around the house that she sold every one of her dresses today. We'd hold each other and celebrate with a lavish cake from the bakery. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYexMUeWsHB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVLvOtwWdt
But I had to be gone before she saw me here. I wouldn't get to see her reaction or comfort her if it all went wrong. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C27cz0hwj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1xXpdtK8E
Missy usually never sold her dresses. I was expecting disappointment that I couldn't chase away. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68FrRSS2FE

Missy was in her way. I could hear her scooter whining for rest. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkerSasSU6Z

Dropping the pot clumsily, I bolted for the back door. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpciE7PWLsX

"Hello?" Missy called out when she stepped inside "is someone there?" 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxCMrBtDVh

338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwDBItTDKR
Her rushing feet barrelling for the back door told me she had. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm6ksGnH5O

I didn't say anything. I was too busy trying to catch my breath without making it obvious I was struggling. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UMkPuayuI
I was surprised she couldn't hear my heart hammering in my throat as I tried to swallow it back down. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1TzPQQJYR

I wasn't meant to be here. I couldn't be here. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2OT2IpZey
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWDThwOlEO
I had to get out. I didn't want to see her fear flitting at me or listen to the way her breathing trembled. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPbBNLC5n

The front door was still open in Missy's pursuit for her intruder. I'd go for that. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvLgg8WmyD
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Z2fDOURK
Missy backed up immediately when I darted around her and raced for the door. I hesitated on the front porch but saw her running after me.338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao5cKwtgqk

"Soup!" she called out, arm outstretched. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTUsT2dc3M
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMGF8oiiIY
No. She couldn't see me here. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aUhAWQXXL
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ15Y8mnCsw
I scrambled down the stairs as her feet pounded on the wood behind me and slithered through the tall grass to find refuge only a few paces away. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBaj9BlIyV
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPXV02JkJ5
Missy gripped the fence, scanning blindly with tears in her eyes. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6EsNfZMBM
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiuFngUed7
"Soup!" her voice called, shaking "wait! You don't have to go!" 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JjZRyocSA
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiNBztwc0b
She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to try and stifle the sob that slipped through. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkA7W3idAO
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5LTWPIAHA
I wanted to comfort her but knew I couldn't. She was already suspicious of my presence and would confirm her own theories if I returned. I'd ruin it for the both of us. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1L7Tt6Sjq
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYeIi523Sa
I moved, turning for the safety of the East. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ9jCQR0c9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrpsSpFZMS
"Soup?" Missy sniffled at the rustling of the grass, her head lifting in my direction. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPniFiCdcjj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUVeEwLQXJ
I bolted for the tracks before she could try and call me back, keeping my eyes firmly on the safety of the bridge shrouded in darkness where I knew she wouldn't be able to reach me. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivexFUwsY
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2qtcAcJ44
She would have a clear head tomorrow. She'd sleep on her silly stories and realise that I couldn't possibly have done all that; her simple pet. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErVMWHmX3w
She'd be happy, knowing that she would still have no burdens in her life, and things would go back to pleasant chit-chat over food together.338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBeldWu8Li
I'd love her silently and she would dream of bright futures where everyone wore her dresses. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMex5xGxAjt
It would be how it was. 8964 copyright protection334ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW5ZRMtqEN 維尼
