Aurora || Parker
Hi! This is Aurora Glass. Wait, you probably already know that, I mean why would you call me if you weren't looking for me? Well, unless you're a stranger, and now you know my name...oh no! Can I re-record this? No? Okay, you know what, it's fine. I'm busy right now, I might be baking cupcakes or watching Titanic or petting strangers' dogs or something, so leave a message and I'll get back to you!
"Aurora...I'm sorry. Okay? I'm sorry. I panicked and I yelled at you. You just...you had this voice...your goddamn voice. I'm sure your eyes would do the same to me if I could see you."
"You give off this aura of being kind, and caring, and you wanted to listen....and I felt more comfortable around you than I have around anyone else in a long time. And I hated that I had left myself so vulnerable to a complete stranger."
"I was worried you'll leave. You have better things to do then sit around and listen to me, I assure you. I just thought...you might take advantage of me, like everyone else did."
"I figured it would hurt less if I pushed you away before you hurt me. I didn't know it would hurt you, though. So, please don't be mad at me?"
