running fall hug
I wasn't sure what I expected her to do or say to this. It was all new to me from that second on. But clearly, she'd been there before.

Wish You Were Here So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skys from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
