Odette Sinclair : "Dear Olive."

[TherapyCat]

Dear Olive,


They think I have a gift.


That's there's something special to me. More then opium, more than gambling. Something genuine. Pure. Wholesome. Or maybe it's the opposite. Maybe they know that right now,I ain't worth a solar and a half-- but perhaps there's potential for me to be more. Maybe it's neither, and they were just too polite to turn me away. To tell me to leave.


This rose they gave me, reminds me of you. Of us.
Untouched, Unruined it has the potential to save anyone. Create miracles.
But the moment you tamper with it, snap a leaf it's as good as poison.

Mama Always said I was a messer.

It's real easy to mess up in my defense. All the things they said tonight, the difference of a thumb's worth could be the boundary between life and death. I think doctors, witches, healers whatever ya call him, they walk that line. That Boundary that man maybe wasn't meant to.be walking…. Well, that line is like getting high, Liv.

One dose away from messing up everything.
But when you're on the edge,
It's worth it.


They say they do what they do to ease suffering.

Isn't that all poppy's good for till it ain't?


Anyways.

You're little sister gonna be a doctor.
A nurse. A healer. A witch.
A Fixer.

Or she's gonna die trying.


..But don't you go holding me to that.
