Millie was only a girl of twelve, but she had learned at a much younger age from her grandfather how to take care of herself.

"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets"
My mother and I love going second-hand shopping. In Australia, we call it 'op-shopping'. I didn't always love it, though. Over the years, my experience with op-shopping has evolved from a kid running excitedly to the worn and scratched toys, to an early-teens, apathetic eye-roller being dragged through garage sales, to a late-teens snob whose new wages went towards new clothes and makeup, to a mid-twenties, introverted daydreamer who, every single time, walks straight to the preloved books.

Even the colour scheme was unique in every room.
