You & Me

by Tal Bauer

“Kindness,” Landon finally said. “Dedication. A sense of humor. A connection like electricity. Someone who fits so well with me it feels like they’ve always been there. Someone who is good with, and to, Bowen.” “That doesn’t sound picky. That sounds smart.”

I’m only allowed three sins, and I’ve hit my limit: Diet Dr Pepper, red wine, and men.

Maybe you need to set them in a pattern. Like runes or a warding spell. That’s a great idea! Oh, man, I never thought about that. I have a whole new sin I can embrace: spell casting. I’m at my limit of three, though. I’d have to let one go if I want to give it a try. Worried emoji. Goodbye Diet Dr Pepper? Goodbye men!

“You are the gradations of undiscovered colors in my soul. You are the inhale before my blank canvas, the moment before my pencil touches the page. You are the manifestation of my dreams. You are my intensity.”
