Guilty As Charged
The phone rang too early in the morning. No, it was actually 11 am, but he still didn’t care to open his eyes after a drunken night. His head was hurting too much. He fumbled around his nightstand for his phone and finally grabbed it. Ugh, only one percent of the charge left. Forgot to plug it in for the night once again.

A Glass Act
He didn’t like to say “sorry.” At all. Not after stepping on someone’s foot, because “it’s not a big deal,” and not even after saying something rude, because “you annoyed me, so it’s all your fault.” If she kept insisting, he would just give her silent treatment until she’d let it go and be friendly with him again.

A City Girl
When I was 10, my mom wanted to introduce me to her side of the family in the south of Russia, so we took a plane from Moscow to see them. All her cousins and their children lived in one big village on the same street and each family owned a small farm. Being a city girl, I was really looking forward to seeing country life up close, with all the farm animals and huge fields.
