![]() ![]() ![]() Due to this, it asks for a leap of faith from the reader – of the literary rather than the religious kind – and we do this willingly.Įstablishing Bruno’s credentials as someone genuinely disenchanted with the Catholic church (he’s caught reading inappropriate materials and the Inquisitor is sent for, which forces him into exile), he arrives in England years later to be hired by Queen Elizabeth’s great spymaster, Walsingham himself, and is sent to Oxford University. ![]() This was a strange book in so many ways – and I mean that more positively than to infer the opposite – strange can be good, right?

![]() I don’t know what to do but I have to tell his parents. It was the opposite and I don’t know how to feel about that. What we did last night wasn’t making love. But from what I’ve learned about Chris in the weeks I’ve been getting to know him is that Chris forgives easily and I know from past experiences that Cal holds grudges like a hoarder. I turn to see him disappear into the bathroom, bare as an egg, body of a god, and with the attitude of a spoiled six year old. ![]() That’s not something I’ve ever done before. Nothing I can think of seems adequate so I stay perfectly still and quiet. I try to find the words of who I should be, but I’m at a complete loss. I can't help wondering…who am I now? The Lauren of yesterday is gone, obliterated. ![]() I try to think of how the old Lauren would respond and compare it to the Lauren I’ve been the past few weeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While Sasha is on a solo mission, she receives crucial information about their battle that the werewolves are infected.
