@UnknownAndYoung — such an admission, especially when that 'someone' is Valerie.

"I'm not really sure." For the longest time, Juliet had yearned to be a criminal defense lawyer, but the spark had died in the car crash.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@UnknownAndYoung "Oh." A frown tugs at her lips and Juliet looks down, tugging at a loose thread on the duvet cover and watching it slowly unravel. "I'm sorry."

The change of subject comes as a relief. It's difficult to know what to say to someone after —

@UnknownAndYoung //beep boop

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@UnknownAndYoung - "I haven't been up to much. Just classes and visiting James."

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@_paranormative — tell us a little bit more about ghosts. Since this is a documentary and we need a professional consult." Juliet smiles, looking from the small screen on the camera to Mason and arching an eyebrow.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@_paranormative The neglected buildings are eerily pretty. Layers of graffiti cover the areas of the buildings that have not collapsed, the ground littered with pieces of wood and metal, and a smattering of weeds and grass poke through the broken floors. -

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@_paranormative As soon as the smile reaches his eyes again, Juliet drops his wrist and lifts the camera once again, pointing it in Mason's direction. His face is difficult to make out in the darkness, but the camera will show his visage clearly.

"So, —

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

Juliet nods, gaze shifting to the screen once again. She can feel Mason's body heat against her arm, which brushes against his each time she moves.

[𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐍𝐄𝐓 . @PARANORMATlVE]

"It's almost over, anyway." Mason flashes her a reassuring smile. It warms him that Juliet had sat through the movie with him, even when she was a bit scared by it.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

"No, it's okay." The movie doesn't bother Juliet when she isn't watching. And Mason is a bit distracting, though Juliet is doing her best to ignore any potential budding feelings.

[𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐍𝐄𝐓 . @PARANORMATlVE]

As Juliet leans into his touch, Mason finds himself enjoying the closeness. "We can always turn it off, if you want." He offers her with a smile. He doesn't mind not watching the rest, he's seen it enough times. Besides, all he wants is for Juliet to be comfortable.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

- harm's way at the farm, after all.)

The movie is all but forgotten as Juliet finds herself falling into Mason's eyes.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

Another blush warms her cheeks and Juliet opens her eyes, gazing up at Mason and leaning into his touch. "Yeah," she whispers. There's an inherent feeling of safety when she's with Mason. Perhaps because of everything they had been through together. (He had pulled her out of -

+ + alright?" He asks Juliet, gently rubbing her shoulder in circles trying to comfort her.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

😺✏ — The mere thought of getting back together with Adam hasn't crossed her mind in months, if only because the thought is too painful to bear any longer. If Adam showed up at her do… https://t.co/3c4YGZciOX

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

- horror movies had been ridiculous. Her heart is pounding and her eyes are closed.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

As soon as Juliet turns to face the screen again, Jack Nicholson jumps out. Juliet can't help it; she yelps, turning away and bumping into Mason. The notion that facing the paranormal in reality would negate the terror that has always bubbled up when Juliet has tried to watch -

[𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐍𝐄𝐓 . @PARANORMATlVE]

"Okay, maybe a 𝘭𝘰𝘵." There's another chuckle as his brown orbs don't leave hers. Realising that he has probably been staring at her for far too long, he then shifts his gaze back to the screen hoping that she hadn't noticed.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@UnknownAndYoung - "It's been a while..."

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@UnknownAndYoung - bed, sitting down and hugging her knees to her chest. (Maybe it's Juliet that gets nervous during the storms, and not Chewy.)

"So, um, what have you been up to?" Juliet focuses her attention on Valerie, though she can't help but glance out the window every so often -

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@UnknownAndYoung - window and looking out again. There's no sign that the rain is going to slow down. It's impossible to see more than a few feet into the downpour and the glimpses of clouds that Juliet can see through the water are an ugly grey.

[𝒥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝓢𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 @JRunningShoes]

@UnknownAndYoung "You think the storm will stop?" Juliet doesn't normally mind the rain, but she misses her dog. And it hasn't rained like this in years. What if a tree falls into her apartment? What if Chewy suddenly develops an acute fear of thunder? Juliet gets off the bed, walking to the -
