I love thunderstorms and teacups, and the last light of a candle in a darkened room and the smell of grass in the rain. But I love words more than any of those. With words, I can experience all of those things, even if the teacups are chipped and dirty, we're all out of candles, the grass has been cut and there won't be any rain for a week.

Darkness

It's always dark in here. I used to be scared of the dark. I had a nightlight when I was small to keep the shadows away. Daddy would call it a nightlove, not a night light.

Chinese Whispers

'I don't understand relationships.' She rolls onto her hip as she speaks, to gauge his reaction to her words. His slightly glazed eyes lock onto hers.
