SOMEWHERE THERE'S A CRACK IN THE SIDEWALK

"Mmm, family." It was a word that Ryan didn’t understand anymore. Or had she ever? Her mother was all she had ever known. And now what? She had nothing. Only a name to go off of, and realistically, how far could that take her? She wished she knew what it meant to have family. And even though DaVinci didn’t sound all that enthusiastic about his, Ryan envied him for at least having it.



"It must be nice," she said, tracing the silhouettes of the trees that stretched out around them. The babbling of the stream could still be heard, but it was more extraneous noise then anything else. "Having them around, I mean." She turned her blood red gaze back on the steel hybrid and gave him a genuine smile this time. He was kind of cute in that rebel sort of way.
