There's a smell of excitement in the air. 
Waiting,

The door shuts behind as Mom and Dad leave for their "special night out", leaving me with my naughty little sister. I turn to her, putting my hands on my hips.

Dear Maria,

It seems like the things I love are limited right now, so I'm just going to give credit to all of them.
