kittykat2305 “This is beautiful,” Jack whispered, looking around at the small garden.
“If you ignore the dead body.” Owen sniped, kneeling in a pool of blood beside said body.
“But it’s really something when all you see from day to day is the bad, and then you see what Mother Nature herself gives-”
“-and a gardener.”
