Place and people, too. I may need to send Teppy the dessert of her choice, or bring it along to DC.
'Heart Of Gold'
The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Oh, ita... that one sends shivers.
Ya'll are amazing.
Tep, I think I'll try that tomorrow when I'm a little more alert. Gonna go to bed now. Thanks for the suggestion.

The door opens. Another umbrella in the rack, and a trail of wet footprints to the back corner. The rhythm of their voices carries, but not the words. They leave, the old man shuffling through the wet tracks. The kid comes to the front. Your order’s ready.
