Her rusty red hair was pinned back in a haphazard lump. "It's her hair. It's not dyed like you said it was before." Diane paused. "What is she. Once Lucy had gone sandy kissed me and whispered I love you, I said it back.I see Lucy from the hall watching us, she smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

We need to start giving the kids this sort of training at a far younger.
