Anyway hi #BookSky I'm Kat. I read, write, make sarcastic comments, and occasionally break my own heart.

“Like extravehicular.” “You spacewalk?” “Haven’t yet.” She pushes off the floor and turns a neat somersault in midair. “I train for it.” “I can’t believe they let kids do that.” “I’m nineteen.” “Still.” #WIPSnips Read more: a.co/d/hoPOxQO

“Yeah. Because he was getting you arrested.” “Ash, no, it wasn’t his fault.” “Oh, really? Did you help him design that hack?” “No, but we used it together.” “And are you here serving time together?” “It’s not -” “No, because he threw you under the bus.” #WIPSnips Read more: a.co/d/hoPOxQO
