p o p p y r o h a n

hello hello this is a filler for now bc i have worked every day for the past 8 days and just haven’t had time to do anything more 😔 but ily all and i will hopefully have this finished late late tonight after work!!! for now u can ruminate over poppy’s choices: adam (obviously!!! girl can only tolerate so much),!!! then coralie bc she’s sick of her bullshit, and then probably she will get into a little argument with malcom bc she will wanna say beryl to mess with adam but malcolm is all “Miss Rohan, he’s safe,” and she will be like “well, he shouldn’t be” but more on that later i swear!!!!! and then lastly, i think she will finally say harvey bc no one even picked him to win last time and if that’s the case then you’ve lost already sis bye but ok anyway wip wip wip hehe

She knows who the next two names should be, one for each of the distractions she’s let weasel their way into her heart, then her bed. Get rid of them, a voice says. The rational part of her brain finally speaking up, as if it hasn’t sat idly by and watched as she made poor choice after poor choice, stupid decision after stupid decision. But now it was down to the wire and the man with the power wanted three names. Three people Poppy thinks should go home, but she can’t seem to get herself to say Whitney’s name aloud. Nor Adrien’s. Or Indigo’s. If they’re gone then she will really have no one here, no one but snakes in the garden and wolves circling the house, looking for the perfect moment to pounce and take her out. And something about that feels unbearable. At least if they’re here, she can control them. At least if they’re on her side, she might stand a real chance.
