@LilBitOSunshine exactly where he can shove his medical advice when the unmistakable roar of a second engine cuts through the wind. Tires screech against the gravel driveway, far too fast, far too reckless.
My stomach plummets straight into the mud.

With @LilBitOSunshine & others.

There are certain moments that punch the breath straight out of your lungs before you even realize you've stopped breathing. Not the cinematic bullshit. Not lightning strikes or a swelling orchestra.
Just a dark,—

@LilBitOSunshine a flash of irritation flaring hot in my chest. "The fence needs to be secured."
"The fence can survive ten bloody minutes without you playing martyr."
"The storm is rolling in, Jack."
"So is gangrene if you keep standing here acting like a hard-ass."

@LilBitOSunshine during morning feeding, and because I suffer from a terminal case of stubbornness, I figure I can fix it before the sky completely falls apart.

@LilBitOSunshine terrifying, beautiful chaos of a future we hadn't planned for.

@LilBitOSunshine voice catches rough around the edges.

“I don’t think this is temporary for me, Wildflower.And I don’t think it’s temporary for you either,we know that”

[𝙹𝚘𝚎𝚕 𝚆𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚎𝚛 {ᴾᵃʳᵒᵈʸ} @WalkIntoMyArms]
