Victoria sat there, slumped in the chair, waiting for Vincents eventual reassurance. After a minutes silence, she glanced up. She ignored Cassidy, giving her a brief frown before looking away. She wasn't going to talk about what happened to a perfect stranger, even if she did already know what had h...

She expected Vincent to join her, after all, she'd beckoned him over. But when he sat next to her, she couldn't help but jump. She winced inward, as if bracing for a blow before slowly looking up at Vincent. Her expression was blank for a few moments before a small smile spread across her face. God,...

((Victoria Logan continued from Seclusion )) Victoria was still in mild shock as she pulled into the mall parking lot. Tears still streamed down her face, and the occasional sob shook her body, but she was relatively quiet as she removed her keys from the ignition. For a while, she just sat there, h...

"So, a movie then? Well, I can't say I know what's actually playing right now either." With a slight shrug, she stood from the chair. She felt around her pockets, removing a loose wad of bills. With a slight grunt, she thumbed through the currency, a little disappointed to see she had far ...

Victoria chuckled as he excused himself, finding his slight stumble somewhat endearing for whatever reason. The little imperfections seemed to add up. His stammer, his stumble, his lack of decision, added to his hatred of Pondsworth...Well, it made him a bit attractive. Not so much on the physical s...

It would seem her words had little effect. Or, at least, not as much as she hoped. He still seemed nervous, and his rapid breathing would attest to that. Was it something she said, something she was doing without noticing? Whatever it was, the guy still hadn't relaxed, and she was almost starting to...

She had to admit, the way he stammered and stumbled over his words and phrases, it was kind of cute. Still leaning against the table, she rested her chin in her hand, her smile widening slightly. "Relax." She said easily, nodding slightly. "Monty isn't here, so there's no reason to ge...

She'd about given up on Alice forgiving her. but when she felt her arm wrap around her, she had to fight back a smile. It was like her to forgive her, no matter what it was she did. It was comforting, to know that she knew her well enough to realize that outbursts like that were few and far between....

Maybe she should have kept quiet. She'd exploded at Alice, the one person she knew would always be in her corner. The girl who didn't judge her, didn't care about her less then stellar reputation. Even then, she regretted her actions. She didn't regret the anger, no, that was what kept her from spaz...

Dread. Pure dread. She knew Alice would find out. It was never a question. She just wished she hadn't found out so fucking soon. She was too damn clever. Most of the time, she founds her intelligence sexy. She loved that Alice was so smart. Right now, though? It pissed her off. A lot of things were ...

((Victoria Logan continued from The Alibi )) It took Victoria Logan longer then she had planned to reach the bottom floor and Alice. Her movements were slow, almost lethargic, without any sense of urgency. She wanted to see Alice more then anything, but she just couldn't summon the will-power to wal...

Etain let out a sigh of relief at her response. That was the type of encouragement he was looking for. As long as there wasn't some subtle hint he was missing that suggested that the meeting went horribly wrong that escaped his notice. After all, his threshold for success here wasn't high. As long a...

Etain didn't know quite what to say to that. Unless he misinterpreted what Kris's father was saying, it sounded like he was giving them permission to do whatever they wanted after prom. He was far from suggesting anything untoward, let that be clear. His plan extended to prom, dinner, then bringing ...

Etain had only just walked into the room, but it didn't seem to be going that bad. At least, he hadn't said anything to screw everything up yet. He was a little stuck when it came to that. Usually, he didn't put that much thought into what he said. A general idea to pick things up, but that was all....

((Sorry for the insanely long delay. I intended to post this past weekend, but my internet was down. Before that, well, Red Dead Redemption. I understand that last one is less of an excuse, but it stands. Liking the new avatar, too, I might add.)) Okay, big moment. Her father, of all people. What if...
