sierrademulder:
and one day, it just showed up, like an abandoned bundle on my doorstep. Honestly, I don’t know how it found me again. The last night we spent together, I lured it away with a trail of breadcrumbs, a necklace it swallowed one diamond at a time—such a hungry, little bloodhound. I led…
