Re: TWD: Beau/Amelia
No offense taken, there aren't any obvious nicknames. [Amelia smiled at him.] My last name is Thorne. That's easier to remember. Every flower has its thorns. I've heard that one many times. [It was the sort of joke her father would make and everyone tittered in fake amusement as they moved on to a new topic.] My son is Joshua and I can't think of one for him either. I've ruined my own name memorizing suggestion.
[It was almost automatic to look up too, since he was, and curiosity suggested she'd be interested. The simplicity of the blue sky was calming. Or alarming. It would be a beautiful place, if it wasn't a nightmare.] I haven't given up. I'm not raising my son in this horror film. [Amelia was not willing to put their lives on the line to get out yet, but she was waiting. And watching. And considering. All of her siblings seemed to have dropped off, and there was no talk of a rescue from the outside. She was not willing to give up though.] I'm not leaving anyone behind. And don't listen to Shane's growls, he's not going to either.
