It's their first time out in public together in years - and standing outside the hot dog stand she can't help but worry.
She has things to tell him that he has to hear and she couldn't say any of them over a phone.
A few moments later, she spots him walking toward her.

Christmas 2011
"And to all a good night," Kim said softly, running her hand over Angie's hair and smiling down at her. She closed the book and placed it on the bedside table.

She doesn't remember her dreams. It's a blessing and she's not questioning it.

The door to the room opens and two women walk inside.

[OOC: Warnings for violence, drug use and general scariness]
Kim wakes up in darkness. She feels the ground moving underneath her and realizes that she's blindfolded.
'Oh God'.
She stifles a scream, 'don't panic,' she thinks. But that's a hard command for her mind to follow, especially when this brings up so many bad memories.
Her heart's ( Read more... )
