Just a little wish....

Aurora has been doing pretty well with everything.  Actually things were looking up for her.  She had definitely narrowed her search for a new home down to some pretty nice options that were still located in Riverview.  Aurora also managed to get some more freelance writing work, although not steady it was still some extra cash in her pocket and more stuff for her resume so she was happy with that.  She also has really been handling the whole vivid images well still.  Aurora really has convinced herself that they were just strong fantasies that she longer for and now when they creep up (and they still unfortunately) she was getting better and moving herself away from them.  Plus she still believed that they were to help match up Danny and Yvette, well at least she kept telling herself that.  Her plan to be matchmaker for them actually was going pretty well without much interference from herself at all.  Aurora threw her last bash pool party and invited both Danny and Yvette.  All Aurora did was introduce them and they actually did the rest.  She was shocked they got along really well and had a lot in common. She's even managed to get out of Danny that he has been talking to Yvette a bit since the party.
Another great distraction for Aurora has been Nina.  Having her sister in Riverview has been great.  Since Nina's actual life now differed very much from the one Aurora saw in her dreams it was a great way for her to keep herself moving forward and positive in this reality verses what she was doing months ago.

Having Nina just casually stopping by and seeing her around town has been wonderful for Aurora.  Nina's relationship with George was becoming very serious.  In fact Aurora got great news when speaking with Nina the other day on the phone.  Nina told her that she and George were expecting their first child together.  

Aurora was ecstatic to find out she would be an Aunt.  Aurora loves children.  She already began planning on all the fun things she could do with her new niece or nephew.  All this positive energy was really getting Aurora motivated and she decided to start jogging again.  So after her conversation with Nina she headed for a run around town.  She ended up running to the Gazebo.  Aurora liked that park because it was always busy yet quiet.  After her run she sat down and just relaxed before she headed home.  In Gazebo Park there was this fountain.  Everyone in Riverview claimed it was like a wishing well.  Some claimed that a lot of people who threw a coin and made a wish got what they wished for.  Aurora never really cared about it before, she thought it was pretty but never wished for anything from it.  But for some reason today she just got the urge to.  She didn't know why, but something nagged at her to do it.  So Aurora walked over to it and pulled a penny out of her pocket.  The fountain was covered in money mainly pennies so Aurora didn't feel like a cheapskate only throwing one in.  She didn't immediately know what she wanted to wish for.  Did she wish for love, money, luck, her dream life?  Then she thought about, all she really wanted from her dream life was to feel as happy as she did here as she did there.  So with that she threw her coin in and wished for happiness.  

She figured what is the harm in that?  If it backfired so what she would feel sad?  Aurora already felt sad and lonely so how much worse could it be?  So Aurora made her wish and left her happiness up to chance once again.
