To provoke a change. To disrupt easy assumptions. You show yourself. You toss in your chips. You walk. ~ Lauren Elkin

Two men and a woman sitting at the bar close to us burst out laughing.
"You better get your ass over there," Wendy advised, I rolled my eyes and stomped across the bar. ~ Kristen Ashley

I don't know whether these feelings - this thing growing inside of me - is something horrible and sick or the best thing that's ever happened to me.
