Crushing
I was just a kid when I developed my first crush, but developed is totally the wrong word—crushes don’t develop, they appear, fully-formed and incomprehensible.

The Forgotten Room. Content Warning.
The Forgotten Room La Luna Azzurra was alive the way the restaurant always was on a Friday night—buzzing, golden, and perfectly under control. Xiomara liked it that way.
