Maia was sitting on the floor, newspapers again spread out next to her, scissors and glue in reach and a scrapbook open. She was very carefully pressing a newspaper article onto a page before taking a pen and writing a paragraph next to it.

Maia heard knocking on her door, she opened her eyes sleepily and then shut them again. The knocking grew louder and she called out for the maid to go away and didn't she see the do not disturb sign on the door. A muffled reply came from the other side of the door and Maia scowled unsure of who it was as she pulled the door open. "WHAT!?" She said ( Read more... )

Maia sat staring at the pink roses, her room service uneaten beside her. Lemon the stuffed dog was tucked next to her as she held the phone in her hands. Give her space, give her time Maia wiped a tear away and sat the phone down. "She needs time." She said to Lemon as she wiped away another tear. "S'all she needs, it's- it's time."

Maia cried out in her sleep, her eyes snapped open as she looked around the room panting. "Rose." She said as she felt around in the darkness and Rose wasn't there. "ROSE?" Maia panicked and sat up on the couch, it took her a moment to realize where she was. She wasn't at home, she wasn't safe in bed with Rose, she was at the hotel, on the couch, ( Read more... )

It was Rose's second day on the job and Maia was so proud of her she could burst. She was going to do something special last night but figured Rose would be expecting it, she wanted to do it tonight instead. Let her come home ( Read more... )

Maia was sleeping soundly, images kept swiming into her head for a moment she tried to keep her eyes shut when she actually felt the weight of a body next to her, holding her. Her eyes snaped open and she felt Rose against her, "Rose." She whispered kissing the top of her head. A dream, it had all been a dream...hand't it? Maia's lips felt kissed ( Read more... )

Maia was sitting on the floor, in a box next to her, old newspaper clippings. She had a photo album of sorts in front of her and she was carefully pasting the old newspaper clippings into the album. She paused every so often to read something before carefully cutting out the headline and pasting it with the articles.

Maia came into the bedroom, Rose was laying sprawled out on the bed sleeping. A smile touched Maia's lips as she watched her, she didn't want to disturb her sleep so she quietly moved through the room to put away the things she had bought that afternoon for the bathroom ( Read more... )
