i'm a wild boy, ready to destroy Posted on November 23, 2024 at 04:03:14 AM by Salinger
I had only even seen her by accident: this blue mare talking to me. It hadn't been my intention to come to the Falls tonight, not when it was so likely that I would see my mother and father here playing 'Happy Family.' As if Quinn hadn't abandoned us for years. As if he'd done anything to make amends other than continue to knock my mother up.
I hadn't meant to come here. But I had. And instead of my façade of a family, I found her. My brown eyes had tracked her as she stepped into the pool. Curiosity piqued, I had decided to approach. "I do actually approach 'on a whim,' as you say," I said, my tone almost sounding amused. My smile falters in the next moment as a flash of neutral expectancy crossed my face in anticipation of being run off.
"I can leave if you'd rather enjoy the water in peace.. I don't mind."
