The second lesson is to revise what you learned from the first lesson. Just pay attention and raise yourselves. Things won’t always be this easy and I won’t always be here to make it any less.”
“Nevermind that it’s illegal, think of how upset your nanny would be”
1) A song, a notebook, a broken necklace
2) A spilt glass of red wine, sarcasm, one or two “accidental murders
3) A sliver, a bridge, summer
4) Water, a dark forest, a bedtime story
5) A sign, a world in ruins, a spark
6) A protest, a child, a ring
7) A bus out of town, midnight, time travel
8) Scars, a globe, a letter
9) A cupcake, a zombie, some glitter
10) A camera, a ghost, childhood friends reunited
