The Abbreviated Number Is The Same Pronunciation As The Words, No?

Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Sibyl Colfax, featured in The Selected Letters of Virginia Woolf

What are everyone’s Mania plans? I was thinking of getting a hotel and giving a lot of money to showgirls and boys wearing nothing but feathers 🦚

Drinks? Will anyone be joining or is it a 1 on 1 thing.. I will drag someone along if it’s more of a group outing.

You are perfect just the way you are.. PERFECTLY STRONG .. and Big.. 😳

From the desk of Toni Storm ⋆♫˚.⋆⭒.˚⋆ April 22nd

The plastic ring around her finger became somewhat of a comfort object overnight. Toni sat on the edge of her once-shared bed, gently turning the plastic around her digit and pressing a thumb into the sticky parts where it was once a lolly.

Marriage. What a strong commitment to make to someone she broke away from. It wasn’t a decision that came lightly when she was asked the first time around. Toni began traveling globally, Joseph was in Japan, the time zones and the distance was hard. She had always assumed it was a mutual break between them. Yet, once they had both signed to become All Elite, the distance closed between them and a feeling inside her chest told her she was missing something.

That something still stayed at home and took care of Toni, running hot baths and holding the ice on her back when she needed it. It was the same something that would sit across the dining room table, making jokes and cleaning up after she had cooked. Something that had made time to watch movies and cheer her on from home when he had been injured and in pain. Maybe Toni was a fool for thinking there was nothing between them anymore. Maybe ‘fool’ was putting it too nicely.

Fuck.

That was the first word that came to mind.

Shit.

The second word she could think of.

Toni stood up, pacing around the room in an attempt to get her mind thinking straight. Maybe Toni wanted to have a wedding.

She chewed on the plastic that marked their vows to one another. A wedding surrounded by friends and family.

The plastic turned white, threatening to break. And maybe, just maybe, Toni would rather have done it sober.

The ring cracked between her teeth. Dammit.
