When I got home from school I went to my room and noticed a new clothes hamper setting in my room. I had always used the one in the bathroom, “no wa... is that my birthday gift,” I thought. I opened the lid and inside was a box wrapped in lavender paper and a matching bow. There was a card attached so I opened it and read these words:“Dear Larry, as we grow we often find that the changes in our body and mind draw us away from some previous interests and lead us into areas that may confuse yet.

She paused, laughing nervously, and I wondered if she caught on to what I was. “Am I going to like this surprise?” she asked, and Richard answered, “He said we both would.” He paused for a moment and then added, “He was being a little mysterious about the whole thing.

What did you guys have to settle?"I straightened one leg, letting the drops of water run off of into the pool, making little ripples everywhere. "I don't even know what it was specifically." I do."My questioning look asked for an answer."It's all about Ben," he didn't look exactly happy about that. "You were with him, and you feel like she completely replaced you." That's not..." It is Sophie,.
