Written for devohoneybee, who requested Adele Stackhouse and the time she met some "interesting" people (but didn't consciously remember later). I might have taken some liberties with the prompt.

If there's anything you want me to write, you can still leave your prompts here.

God, you are so very good at this. What a perfect blend of mythology and tragedy and loveliness, in those hours before dawn. I always like your Adele, both practical and romantic in turns.

Thank you, m'dear. :)

I love Adele, I find her so interesting. She is what Sookie might grow up to be, should she be so lucky.

Oh that's breathtaking! And moving. And sad. And beautiful.

Please feel free to take liberties with any prompt I give you, ever. Thank you so very, very much. Your details are exquisite, and so particular... the cooling cocoa, the ache of sleeping in a bad position, and the reason for sleeping that way...

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it.

This whole story was lovely but the image that struck me most was:

"It was turning light outside, and when she looked out through her curtains, she could see the Deputy Sheriff's car sitting empty in the yard."

Because that's when you know, lights flashing, car empty, there's trouble.
