Sat down at the lunch table with his books as his only company was pretty normal as the rest of the kids sat at the end of his table, leaving a large distance between them. He might as well be by himself. Sometimes Joseph would look up to at least try and lock eyes and look as though he was socialising, but as soon as they finished their food, off the crowd went. Leaving the boy sitting by himself.. 

So inevitably, it was him and his books. 

Today’s read was Treasure Island... Not exactly the reading material his father would approve of, but he could quite easily hide it under his bed when he got home. 

they didn’t get to see each other as often as before. which, while she missed her friend. it did mean that she hadn’t been drinking as much. which was a good thing. she’d been just a little too reliant on alcohol the past... five plus years. 

since mary had moved out and away, it was just harder for her to get to jim and kim’s sometimes and see robert. plus, the last few weeks she’d just been busy, well, seeing other people too. well okay, not people, but person. it’d been a while since she’d been on a date as nice as the dates she had been going on.

“Wandering the woods at night with a knife? Nah. There’s not a lot out here that would hurt you. Except the turkeys. Watch out for those.”

          ❝ ah damn! && and here I was hoping to get any new tips... ❞

The biggest one was Ashley, 100% hands down. He could remember staring at her as she told him that he had been seeing someone else. Heartache went through his entire body, his fingers feeling numb. Had he not been good enough? Did he do something wrong as a husband? This had to have been his fault, he knew it. But, in the end, Ashley was important to him. Her happiness had always been something he wanted and if that meant being with someone else, then fine, let that happen. Let them be happy. After she finished explaining it all to Craig, the man laughed a little and rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah.. I mean.. Do what you want, and if he makes you happy.. That’s.. fine.” His eyes were downcast, unable to look at her in case she saw his heart shattering to the ground.

     “Mind telling me what we’re doing in the woods in the middle of the night completely sober?” Her words are slightly biting, but honestly she didn’t mind any of the things she complained about one bit. Well, the sober thing was a bit irritating, but even she knew spending the night drunk in the woods was a terrible idea.
