Amos moved to get into the lift to go to level eight. He almost said he'd wait for the next one when he saw who was in there. He didn't, however. He gritted his teeth and stepped inside next to the blonde woman.

Should have been posted earlier today, and I have been told four times to post it, but I fail at life. Sorry.Astoria was a smidge late, but she happened to have a job.

The younger woman was still rocking back and forth a little, despite Blaise having given her a calming draught. Hannah'd had to dress Kristen. The black dress was simple and elegant.

Grace, in her very adorable black and white ( Read more... )

Narcissa,

Happy birthday, I hope you enjoy the day. Please owl me for tea sometime, it has been a while since we've spoken.

Sincerely,

Simone Capper
