We preserve them as a symbol of our love.” Tommy sounded triggered.  His eyes shined as he said about preserving them. Victoria, who stood there listening, said, “His thoughts are manipulated by John, John has put these things on his mind. Ask him what John had done to preserve me.

Rose

The alarm kept ringing, but I was too tired to walk till there and turn it off. “Cece, turn off your alarm; people are trying to get some sleep here,” came the first request from my cousin Kaira. ‘I should wake up!’ I said to myself, and again the alarm rang, piercing through my ears. “CECEE!” this time, the tone got a bit tougher than the earlier one.
