It's not really mine but I think of it as being my special place. I have just seen James in the local shop and we smiled at each other. As I turn another year older, I can’t help but wonder why I am so different. Since the age of eight I have been told there was something wrong with me. There must be because I have no friends except James who has always looked out for me although I don’t know why. There is something special about James being around him makes me feel at home if only things were different!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have admired Lacy for years she has an inner strength that she doesn’t realise that she has and one day I am determined to ask her out. I have been waiting a long time for the right moment. I can always tell when her confidence level is low there’s not much I don’t know about Lacy. I know that when I ask her out, she will question and second guess everything but one day we will be a couple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Kink \u0026 Quill Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63402548953418,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/5938\/7466\/files\/61jZdr4XyqL.jpg?v=1788273894","url":"https:\/\/thekinkandquill.com\/products\/a-special-place-by-helen-c-place","provider":"The Kink \u0026 Quill Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
