Thanks for the name suggestions yall! :)

As promised, here is a sneak peek at what I am working on.

"The night was quiet, teetering on the cool side and as always, the windows were opened. She didnt mind her hospital bed so much when the windows stayed open. Tonight she could smell the metallic dusty smell of rain that was hovering in the clouds, sagging with the weight of itself. Slowly the drops began to fall, growing momentum to slowly douse the ground in a blanket of wetness. Her brown hair was pulled back behind her, her tanktop was red and, as always, the blankets covered her aching legs. Rain always made her weary joints hurt, but oh how the sound of it pitter pattering made it so worth the trouble.

Treatment would take days and honestly, if every night was this peaceful, she wouldn't mind the peace and quiet. Teddy was off to work again, he made it so easy to be sick without notice. The thought pulled a saddened smile to her features. For a long moment, while her beloved journal lay in her lap, she thought on it. Would he ever notice? Would he ever just look her in the eyes? Is this how marriage was supposed to be? Before her thoughts could wander to anywhere else, she pulled open the journal to the last page written in, but the last page wasnt written in her script. In fact the last few pages were not of her hand. As her features danced into a curious expression, she began to read.

My Olivia,
I have written this letter ten times before I found it good enough to be in your journal. You write beautifully. I am starting to wonder if it should be you that is the professional writer. I know it is private, but the words, they are all so beautiful that I had to keep reading. I had to know what else came out of that mind of yours...."

Im not sure, we will see how it goes!
