"How did a tomboy from Asheville end up in New York – Downtown even?” asks Levi.
Cracking her knuckles, Thessaly laughs nervously. This is that moment – the one where the truth becomes a part of the story arc. Turning into him, she admits, “I followed a boy.”
Levi's mouth hovers near Thessaly’s lips as he whispers, “You don’t like to follow.”
Caught up in the sexual tension, Thessaly's mouth twitches in anticipation. “And you?” she hushes.
“I nudge.”

Hey y'all!
NYC is an amazing place to find inspiration - the random and the ordinary that make up reality. My writing showcases inspired ideas, as well as my love for dichotomy, authenticity, pop-culture, and humor.
Dreams need chasers.
