Whoops! That wasn't supposed to happen

Steam escaped as I opened the bathroom door. I walked across the hallway. A cupboard door opened in the kitchen, and I stopped dead. Shit. I forgot about Curtis. I was standing there in nothing but a towel.

He came towards me. His gaze dropped to my chest, then lingered on my legs and his steps faltered. My thoughts faltered. Heat sparked under my skin before my brain caught up. He wasn’t supposed Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Cynthia Terelst (?)

“The Christmas I was seven, Zac sent me on a wild scavenger hunt up and down our street, leaving clue after clue for me. It led me straight back to my bedroom, where a large box sat in the middle of the floor. I stood there staring at it, wondering what my next clue would be. If I’d completed the hunt,”
― Cynthia Terelst, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
