Left of Forever (Spunes, OR, #2)

by Tarah DeWitt

I succumbed to Waiting Syndrome. I had the day to dick around, and I overdicked it.

“Life can be a bully sometimes. And a bully doesn’t care if you’re already having a rough time. In my experience, it’s not gonna help you if you keep shouting ‘Ouch, you’re hurting me!’ at it, either. I think you gather up your friends and stand up to its ass and rock a bloody smile while you do it.”

I feel like I am honest-to-god being tickled under my skin, glee crackling and sputtering in every vein of my body.

I was sure that happiness was stuck in my teeth for everyone to see.
