You were watching me eat // You were watching me sleep // You were a willing sheep // And I was little-bo-peep // And you were writing it down // You were looking for cracks // But I look good with a knife in my back // Valentine, I'm all mine // Valentine, I'm all mine - "Valentine" -- Concrete Blonde ( Read more... )

The one and only time Claire felt even close to being at peace was when she was in the middle of space.  Where there was nothing but darkness and stars around her like a sweet canopy of nothingness.  Out here, she rarely needed to be anyone but who she was.  She didn’t need to pose as an Ambassador or a Senator’s daughter.  She very rarely needed ( Read more... )
