Lucas and Morgan: The Epic Continues : Forum : Never The Chosen One


Never The Chosen One

11 Years Ago


Morgan was found sitting in an empty aisle of the synagogue, alone. 
"I didn't know you were Jewish, Morgan." Lucas stated mockingly, sitting down next to her, breathing in the deep silence of the room. "I'm not. I was raised in the C of E."
