Of all the things Tosh expected, for life to be fair wasn't one of them. Yet she had still hoped against all hope that Mimi wouldn't get sick. That some day she wouldn't die. The last night had shown her that she had been deluding herself. Such things weren't true at home, and they weren't true here ( Read more... )

Lucy was looking for someone. Mr Blunt in fact. She'd finished the book on Poussin he'd written and found one he'd also written about a man called Picasso. That one had stumped her a bit, and she wanted to find him and ask him about it. It only seemed right to return the books tot he man who had written them as well ( Read more... )

It was earlier then Arthur had become used to on the Island, and while it was quieter than normal there was still movement and sound. He made his way into the rec room though he really had no plans. This was one of those days that felt like he should simply just relax. He still had a lot on his mind and was afraid he wasn't taking this whole second ( Read more... )
