#Sarah Graves

[thealtofvalleyxdoodles]

"Tell her her dress is pretty."

You were just an average babysitter. Nothing too grand-sure you loved kids, sure the parents paid nicely-but fucking hell, Joe Graves.

And Sarah-the cutest little thing ever! She's so sweet, little chatter box, sure, but it's cute, you think, hearing her rant about how cool her daddy is, and how he's got some of the coolest friends. When this happened, you just sat there, letting her talk-but one day, it happened in your front yard. So you played with her and her dolls-kinda. She forgot they were there and started waving her armsand hands around as she told a story that Joe told her, one about where had to swim in a big river. "Really, Sarah? Did you daddy say all of that?" "Yeah huh! Yea huh! He's so cool!" Sarah said, jumping up and down on her feet now. You giggled before saying, "Careful hunny. Dont wantcha falling now do we?" And Sarah shook her head. "Nuh uh. That would hurt...hey-Miss Y/n? Why don't you have a husband?"

you ch0oked on your spit. "Uhm-where'd you learn that word hunny?" "Daddy! He was talking his friends about you-" "And I told you not to eavesdrop anymore, Sarah." the gruff voice made the both of you jump. "Joe! Hi! Goodness, I didn't see you!" "I walked," he said simply. "I don't live far anyway. Besides, it's good for my health." You nodded your head, "True." Joe smiled at you, and you smiled back. Sarah huffed before saying, "Daddy! I was talking to Miss Y/n! And you said it's rude to inter-inner...I don't know!" Sarah pouted, crossing her arms over her chest in that cute little way only toddlers could. You laughed and said, "Sarah, calm down sweetie. I'm listening."

But Joe quirked a brow up. "You've never pouted like that before..." he grumbled to himself, watching Sarah go on her little taggant to you. He listening somewhat, but then looked at his wrist watch, "Sarah, sweetie. It's almost time for mom to pick you up." And Sarah pouted-again. "I don't wanna go to mom's! I wanna stay with Miss Y/n!" "Sarah...I'm being called in-you have to go to Lena's." "I'm not going!" Joe sighed and picked up his daughter. She started to fake cry. "Sarah! Enough! What the hell is wrong with you today?"

He felt bad for saying that to her, he knew it was probably a side affect of aging, but jeez...this was bad. You got up off the little picnic blanket and said, "I'm not going to tell you how to parent, Mister Graves...I'm just going to say, maybe it's because she sees how stressed and annoyed Lena makes you-maybe she's reluctant to go with her mother because of this." Huh. Good point-Sarah's was always a Daddy's girl. "Yeah-Yeah maybe..." but his daughter was (trying to and failing) glaring at him. "Sarah. Sweetie. We'll have a talk at home, okay?" Jeez-he already had to pull out the dad talk? ...Maybe Lena was right-Maybe he spent too much time at work and not enough at home.

"Say bye to Miss L/n." "Bye, Miss Y/n..." Sarah said sadly, waving to you even more so. You jutted your lower lip out before saying, "Well-here's the bag of toys she brought, Joe. Have a nice day!" Joe nodded and he took the bag, "Yeah-you too..."

but as he walked away, "Tell her her dress is pretty, Sarah," Joe said, smiling, "YOUR DRESS IT PRETTY MISS Y/NNNN!!!"

So Sarah; what made you take up on Sky's offer to become his protégé?

[Pops up as a text-to-speech comment during an art livestream]

"Oh gosh... it's a little embarrassing to admit because I was in a big puddle of self-loathing when it happened."

"I was in this little cafe I like to visit in Ryme with Stitch. It was... yeah I had finished a shift at work that day and stopped by because I was starving. I was actually uh... and this isn't easy to admit, running out of money. I had just paid rent and there's no trainers in Ryme City so it's all just regular jobs, and they were starting to really stretch my hours thin." "SO! So. I get something small for Stitch and myself. Like a sandwich croissant and a Pokepuff for him, because that's really all I could get. I'm sitting there, having finished it and I'm still hungry and I say to myself, 'I could have been a Pokemon Trainer.'"

"And I'll never forget that because I didn't actually say it to myself, I said it out loud, y'know like a moron. Sky happened to be at the same exact cafe and heard me say this and the rest is history."

"I just... Gahhh, that's such a humiliating way to get noticed by a champion! Wallowing in sorrow after eating a sandwich I just barely paid for."

[Text-to-Speech Comment: Mimikyu Mom confirmed for cute af]

"Aaaahhh! Shut up no I'm not! I'm a big tough trainer now, remember?"

Death by Marshmallow Pie by Sarah Graves

Death by Marshmallow Pie by Sarah Graves was an audio Advanced Readers Copy from NetGalley. It is the sixth installment in the Death by Chocolate Series. It is a cozy mystery. This is, very surprisingly, the first book in this series I have read. I love the Home Repair is Homicide series by Sarah Graves, and this series takes Jake and Ellie from that series and transitions them into a new…

Lecturas del MPL Mystery Book Club

En agosto del año pasado, me uní al Club de Lectura de Misterio de la Biblioteca Municipal de Mansfield, MA (donde vivo). La biblioteca tiene varios clubes de lectura, pero, me llamó la atención éste en particular porque a mí me gustan mucho los libros libros de misterio, pero no tengo con quién discutirlos. Y siempre es una buena experiencia discutir un libro y escuchar lo que tienen que decir…
