Summary
Dean Gryne of The Daily Gryne dies at 50 of a heart attack, his wife having been a victim of a drive-by shooting less than a year prior, now in his Will leaving the company to his 19-year-old daughter. The only problem is that she doesn’t want it. She doesn’t know what she wants, but she knows what she’s been taught. It has nothing to do with bringing home the money and everything to do with being what her mother was: a mother who barely got to be a wife because her husband wasn’t around much. How is she supposed to take over as the head of his company when she doesn’t know the first thing about it or him? Pass it on to someone else, of course.

Summary
“What,” he says, his voice soft and high, “what the fuck is that?”
The sharp change in his tone draws the attention of Marielena and Rebekah as well and he takes a faltering step backward as if frightened to be the object of all their gazes. James starts to say. “It’s a menorah—”
“I know what the fuck it is!” John shouts. “What the fuck is it doing here? Someone’s going to see, take it down at once!”

Summary
Edward got closer. He just couldn't believe how young she looked. For all he knew she could have been snapped away from Amestris just minutes after he had left her, never to return by her side. His brows knitted together from thinking about the painful memory. A gamut of 'what if's' suddenly invaded his mind and put weight upon his aching heart. Remorse was a cold bitch.

Summary
She's young, a bit on the rounder side with kinky brown hair that bobs around her face. She's in a white dress, sleeveless and hangs loosely off her tanned frame. Her brown lips pull up into a wide grin, green eyes light up and her caramel cheeks turn rosy. She looks positively excited to lay her eyes on him. Her eyes light up with excitement and she claps her hands together in giddy glee. Something seems off about her. Edward can't quite place his finger on it. She rests her chin on a balled up fist and smirks. She seems amused at the shock she caused.
"You move quick for a dead man."
