Now would probably be a good time to explain the family situation: our ‘parents’ couldn’t have children, so they decided to adopt. For some reas...n, they thought just adopting one child would be too easy, so they adopted two: Emily and I. We were adopted at pretty much the same time – I don’t really remember, I was only 3 – and … yeah. We became brother and sister, which must have been a little weird for outsiders, because I’m white and she’s half-Asian, but we've always seen it as normal.. I called Denise. I left a message for her to get back to me. She calledback ten minutes later when she was on break. She still worked at AnnTaylor. I had worked there with her until recently, but I foolishly quitbefore I had another job lined up. I slowly explained to her what mymother had offered me and asked for her opinion.Denise responded, "You should take it. Are you stupid? Why are you evenasking me about this? You silly girl! Did you really think I'd hold youback? You never cease to. Silas nodded and stood (though he disappeared behind the table, being a gnome and all). He walked up to me, scuffing the dark dirt with his shoes, and reached his hand up. I returned with a firm shake. "It's been a pleasure having you here, Kara. It's a shame you're leaving. You were doing so well with the animals." I smiled faintly and turned, once again, to my quarters on the far side of the Faire.---(that night)"You're leaving?! Kara, you wouldn't!" Keri said incredulously, looking at me. He saw where she was going with this. Well, I cant just let you slide, he warned her. Not without letting me have a taste first. Another pun, he chuckled to himself, this was getting easier. It was like second nature. Fine, she pouted, pulling a lighter and a pre-rolled joint out of her Alice in Wonderland bag. She sparked the joint and took a massive inhale of smoke before passing it to Aaron. She coughed profusely, doubling over. He stared at her, stunned before finally grabbing the joint..
