- She seems like a very sweet lady.
- Not when she's trying to 'save your soul'.

She's always bringing the church ladies to pray for me - like she thinks I'm possessed!

She just wants to help.

Gog'Flo hasn't changed and neither has your teacher.

- But suddenly you find them both annoying.
- So?

You told me you felt frustrated and helpless when you were locked up with those girls.

That hasn't changed.

You'll feel that way until you've processed what happened. But you're not ready yet.

We've changed.

We're not the same people anymore.

I'm not the same woman you fell in love with all those years ago.

I should've realised it when Zola came along...

but I wasn't ready to let go of you.
But now I am.

Somewhere along the line, we grew apart.
I realised that when I got to London.

For the first time in years, I wasn't Karabo, the daughter of somebody, or Karabo, the wife...

the mother or the businesswoman.
I was just me.

Our marriage has been over for a while now.

For the sake of what we had...

for the love we shared, please let's end it amicably.

You told me you loved me and that was why you couldn't choose between me and Radebe.

That's what I wanted to believe.

I was so used to having you around.
I couldn't imagine life without you.

    Zdeno Chara isn’t about individual goals, or any bright, shiny trophies that don’t answer to the first name Stanley. But the Bruins captain is also unfailingly honest with himself and the media when he speaks, and even Chara admitted that scoring 20 goals this season and winning his second Norris Trophy are things that he would thoroughly enjoy. “I wouldn’t say that I’ve always wanted to do it, but it would be nice to reach 20 [goals]. It’s not on my priority list that I need to score two, or three, or four goals and reach 20,” said Chara.…

    The fact of the matter is that I confided in you because not only was the inability to share my grief unbearable, but your advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Like the quiet before the storm, there was another nigh-complete silence, a well-needed respite after the deafening gunfire they had been subjected to; then, the thunderous sound started up again, the crack of Daniel Stoll shooting indiscriminately like a madman. The gang members, surging through this unreliable curtain of bullets, did not pursue their entourage, instead slamming the door shut with a tremendous clamor. It was a bizarre, ridiculous decision. Had they wanted to escape the wrath of Mr. Stoll and his equalizer, it was entirely possible to simply not walk towards the doorway! Instead they pressed forward into a place with no cover to merely shut a door.…

    Birdie kicked at a stray rock with all her might, snarling with clenched teeth. It flew across the street, and disappeared into the passing crowd. Birdie sighed and ran a hand through her hair, her stomach folding in on itself. “I want to go home,” she moaned quietly, and Albert nudged her with a grin. “You want to go back to Kansas?…

    Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting.
