        ❝  HEY ,  CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SEC ?  ❞   the  hero  makes  her  tone  sweet ,  one  she  doesn’t  really  show  to  most  people  with  the  exception  of  alessio  and  well ,  astrid ,  though  she  probably  should  have  dropped  it  by  now .  with  both  hands  in  the  pockets  of  her  pants ,  theo  leaned  in  a  bit ,  as  if  about  to  share  a  secret  with  her  ex  girlfriend .  ❝  be  careful  with  the  whole  drinking  thing ,  okay ?  i’m  not  trying  to  mom  you  or  anything  but ...  you  were  pretty  out  of  it  last  time ,  ❞   she  points  out  with  a  chuckle ,  though  it  is  far  from  a  mockery .  ❝  just  looking  out  for  you .  ❞

i can like my elbow.

         inhaling  a  sharp  breath ,  the  hero  promised  herself  not  to  make  this  more  awkward  than  it  already  was .   she  had  to  be  okay  with  it ,  so  that  astrid  could  be ,  too .   after  knocking  lightly  on  the  door  frame ,   theo  raised  her  brows .   ❝  hey  bubbles ,  ❞  she  greeted ,  then  nodded  lightly  in  the  direction  of  her  injured  arm .  ❝  i  have  a  bit  of  a   situation   here .  ❞

it’s just like tay to be in the middle of a fashion emergency, and to be struggling to deal with it in a public restroom, no less. she’d known this dress was a bad idea but here she was, wearing it anyway, and having to unzip it to use the restroom was proving problematic as the fabric of her dress is now stuck in her zipper and she’s far more stressed about it than what’s probably necessary. tay jumps suddenly when the door opens, though everything is covered, and sighs in relief when she sees astrid. “oh my gosh, hi, i- please help,” she says with a self deprecating laugh. “my zipper is stuck.”

"is the entire thing edible?” she asks, holding up the makeshift cauldron cake. “i’m afraid to test it out and look stupid.” talia grabs a plate and places the cake down, then looks around for utensils. “should i just try slicing through it with a knife and see what happens?” / @astridthejohnson​

my dad used to tell me the story cinderella a lot, so i have a soft spot for it, but probably the little matchstick girl now.
