I spent 7 hours trying to get a cute pose right for one of my sprites. I’m feeling like it paid off.

If you’re a writer, write “I waited” without saying it. I didn’t know what time she planned to arrive. It could be at (I checked my phone) 3:07pm. It could be an hour from now, or 2, or 3, or even 4 (Christ, I hoped it wasn’t four). She just ran on her own schedule and was terrible at texting.
