'You are so strong Emily, I really admire you.' I said.
She ran her hand through my hair, smiling. Nobody gave Emily the accolades she deserved. She had been with Lily from life till death, she needed to know she was appreciated.
'Thank you Kassy. And don't get too carried away by your drawing, you should grab a bite to eat.' She left.

I knew Barney was having his birthday at the prison and the thought kept crossing my mind.
I wondered how Nate took the whole surprise and if they were not just arguing about everything.
Whenever my family got with Barney's, there was so much argument, most of which were playful but a handful of them drove some people to bed without dessert.
The last time we were all together, including Menorah, we argued about the weather.
Menorah had been so angry that we ignored all her takes on Fall so she stormed out of the house and got back later that night, wasted.
'Hey.' I heard a familiar voice say.
