Matt, who was quite happy about his sandwich, thought fast. It would never do to let Maude know he found the sandwich not just delicious, but positively divine. How could two simple slices of bread wi...
I know your type. And I know you would smash my heart to little pieces. I don’t want to end up looking like the twenty plates I handled tonight,
Finding out about a lost niece, raised by wolves in the jungle of a remote French town was weird to say the least. Ordinary for all, but the Joneses, like the strand of hair sticking out from a tight...
A piano is like a friend to me, she explained slowly, carefully choosing her words. We are in sync. It never betrays me or makes fun of me. I cannot say the same about human beings.
A father waits upon a son A mother prays for his return I just called to see If you still have a place for me We know that life took us apart But you're still within my heart I go to sleep and feel yo...
Have been hurt by Peter’s lack of manners at dinner. So, are we going or what? asked Jazmine, snapping Matt and Cynthia out of their thoughts, both of them thinking they were the cause for Maude’s col...

Had you asked me the question a couple of hours ago, I would have been silly enough to think that the only feelings I felt for you were those of friendship. I know now that your friendship is no longe...

Back after the way Dad spoke to him. Can you believe it, Maude? Dad never, ever raises his voice. You’ve seen him in the three weeks you’ve been here. He’s the calmest person I know, apart from Cynth,...
