     THERE’S     A      VERY      AUDIBLE      ANGRY      GRUNT      FROM      HER      DIRECTION.                    she  slams  the      end      call      button  on  her  phone  and  lets  out  a  pent  up      sigh.           ❛           i’m      sorry,      that  was  just  my  sister.  don’t  siblings  just  drive  you      crazy      ?           ❜         /          @ofdearing

❛ After all, it would be rather boring if I was stuck talking to myself for however long it takes maintenance to get here, ❜ Ben followed with a gentle laugh, one full of natural good humour and mirth. Not at all like someone who had just received word that the crew sent to rescue them from the stuck elevator had been delayed in traffic. Leaning back against the wall, he cast his gaze up with the ceiling tiles. The central light flickering pitifully, making the whole scene appear more like a horror movie than anything else. ❛ I hope you weren’t in a rush to go somewhere. ❜

                                perhaps one of the only time jami actually follows owen’s ‘ no coming into my bedroom before the sun’s up ’ rule is when claire’s sleeping over. she’s been up for a while now, recognizes the careful footsteps as they approach the kitchen. the girl greeting her with a wide smile as she’s munching on her cereal.  ❛  good morning  !  ❜  perhaps a little too loud for six am so she lowers her voice to a whisper before repeating herself.  ❛  ... good morning.  ❜

     SHE’S      NOT      USED      TO      NEW      PEOPLE.                     at  least,  not  this      deep      in  the  forest.  this  usually  means      bad  things      for  her,  and  she  freezes  in  her  tracks.           ❛           are  you  alive  ?           ❜          /          @ofdearing

“Is is wrong that I’m somewhat terrified?” she asked, walking with Claire toward the entrance of the park. Norah hadn’t been to the park yet. She’d heard so much about it from her friend, but she wasn’t sure if these were creatures she wanted to witness in person. Somehow she got talked into joining Claire for a day at work and here she was, a bundle of nervous energy as she tried to picture the dinosaurs in person.

― * ✧      “ i would suggest going OUT for dinner... ” the blonde started as she fell back into the couch - running a hand through her hair as blue eyes focused on the red head across from her. “ but i really don’t want to GO out again. ”

     “Claire...” God, it’s been forever since she’s seen the redhead—Laura goes to her and embraces her lightly before stepping back and looking over her carefully, noting the scratches that have barely begun to heal and the bulge of a bandage on her leg. Damn them all. “I heard about what happened—thank god you’re safe...”
