| Lia was starting to sweat now. she looked as if she had ran for five miles, panting and heaving like that. |
|
| Lia ran a hand through her hair and leaned forward, allowing a few wispy tendrils to straggle free from her messy ponytail. |
|
| After that, an awkward silence once again filled the room, until finally Lia finally blurted it out. |
|
| Ben was positively itching to get his fingers on the keyboard, but Lia wisely didn't let him. |
|
| Lia continued to twist the fork, watching as the spaghetti coiled then dropped back into the plate. |
|
| Finally, after what seemed like aeons, they reached what Lia presumed was their destination. |
|
| Lia had pushed the remembrance of hers in the back of her mind so it couldn't affect her any more. |
|
| Whenever he came around, Chase would grow into a fit of barks and growls so ferocious Lia had to put him outside or in her bedroom. |
|
| Lia tilted her head to the side, allowing his fingers to brush against her cheek, lightly. |
|
| Lia dug her hands into her jacket pockets, her eyes resting on the figure before her. |
|
| Lia placed her hands on her lap, the overwhelming cold biting through her thin blouse and sending goose pimples creeping over her flesh. |
|
| All was foggy, obscure, clotted over and Lia backed against the wall, drew her knees to her chest and took in a deep breath. |
|
| Lia gently lifted up one of the half-collapsed shelves, careful not to get her hand caught between the two splintered wafers of wood. |
|
| Lia could feel a familiar weight reside within her chest, an overwhelming sense of unease overcoming her. |
|
| Lia shivered at the chill in the air and at the fact that her dream might become a reality. |
|
| Lia was looking around her shoulder, as if she was expecting a stampede of wild animals to come charging down the corner. |
|
| Lia is almost a mnemonist and is able to recall every pot that she's ever looked and every catalog or book that she's read dealing with porcelain. |
|
| Next was Lia, Lia who sat rotting away in the corners of a prison cell. |
|
| Lia washed her hands, the cold water numbing her fingertips. |
|
| Meanwhile, Lia and Gianna were sitting inside drinking ice tea. |
|
|
|
| The girl in the blue frock led Lia along a corridor leading from the banquet hall, until she found a room near the end of the wing with double doors and gold door handles. |
|
| Lia leaned back against the sofa, her legs casually propped on the table. |
|
| Lia Gaertner, Advisory Board Member, is a principal at Halteres Associates, a bioscience consulting company. |
|
| Lia is cortically visually blind, which means if she donated her eyes to another child, they could see. |
|
| Lia finds it easier to play supernurse than supermum, but she has to decide how much of a part she wants to play in her daughter's life. |
