Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.

rattling their skulls clicking
their bony fingers
they have heard me beseeching
as i whispered into my own
cupped hands enough not me again
but who can distinguish
one human voice
amid such choruses
of desire

My daughter and I trying to read from the French edition of LOCK & MORI. She was very impressed at my ability to translate the Title page. (My eighth grade French class finally pays off!!)

Last thing you treated yourself to:
I’m a little tea-obsessed. And my favorite teas right now come from T-WE Teas out of San Francisco. First, because the tea blends are amazing. But also because the descriptions of the teas on the website are hilarious, and every order comes with a cute little note from the person who packed the box. My most recent “treat” was a refill of their Chai Hard blend, which we go through very quickly in my house.
