Maybe I would’ve walked the other way

Maybe my tale wouldn’t have ended the way it did

Aunt Blair’s red hair never lost its fiery, natural colour, hanging in perfect waves to her shoulders She has high cheekbones and a tall, slender, ure that makes my aard, sixteen-year-old body look like a potato in comparison
