About to update friendslist'n all. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not watching anyone on this account, unless I decide - in the future - to make it an account that deals exclusively with writing. Checking up on new deviations and such on two accounts would really, really suck. So if this account doesn't comment on anything, that's why.

Thrice, you kissed me, she said.
He sighed, the sound not quite a sob.
Thrice, he said, voice trembling, I wanted to make you my bride.
Once, she said, voice cool, you were alive.
Yes, he said softly, drawing out of sight. Once I was alive.
