Their first attempt had ended in a tragic way and Angela had worried she would be stepping on Rose's toes if she offered when Rose received the news she was sick and couldn't carry another baby to term after miscarrying the surrogacy.

( 1 ) Muse prompts: LYRICS (500+ words, first or third person)
- "I was going down for the third time
My heart was broken, I was not open to your suggestions
I had so many questions
That you just kissed away
Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing,
The way that love can set you free"

Conscience now constantly runs
Counting sheep's never reach
Sound asleep fantasies
Suck me dry
Insomnia
Settle in sedatives
Silence these sirens
I am uncomfortably numb."
• Knives, Ten Years

- "Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there."
