But this particular weather discussion was far from that. It was so eloquent. We talked about how the weathe

The only part of this boy that held any life at all were his eyes, which brimmed with tears when he saw me.“Kahlen?”I sat still. These three people all called me by the same name, which sounded sort of like Katlyn and Ellen and made me believ
