the gentle rise and fall of his chest had fallen in tune with the constant whir of the ceiling fan. dinah resisted the urge to reach out and touch his supple cheek. cain had been gone a lifetime and her heart still ached for those times. the thought of him alone. she sighed deeply shaking him awake “hey sleeping beauty, dinner’s ready. get washed up.” // @itcain

the air wafted with brine and summer. comfort washed over her bones and dinah settled into a lazy gait letting the sun warm her face. her autonomy slipped away as she dipped through the familiar curves of the dock and it wasn’t until she opened her eyes again she saw evan’s face peering jovially at her. embarrassment flushed her cheeks hastily. “hey...nice day isn’t it.” // @oceansglass

the only thing left of gilbert was a clump of gray fur left surreptitiously by the windowsill as if the cat had any sense of stealth to him. dinah’s face fell, the picture of dejection and frustration. “gil!” she said head poking from the window. “gilbert,” she called again, no response. it wasn’t until she spied his smug visage curled comfortably in the sunlight of her neighbor’s deck a sigh of relief befell her. “oh my gosh i’m so sorry. i’ll be over there to get him in a minute.” // @starshincs

the rain was soft but quickly gaining momentum. dinah’s silence spoke immeasurably louder than her words as she clutched her to-go-order to her chest. “areum,” her voice lilted softly, “wow...it’s been a while. nice seeing you.” // @poppysds

dinah couldn’t bring herself to feel ashamed about sneaking into the library no matter how much her gut recoiled at the thought of breaking a rule. her light footsteps pattered down a darkened row, fingers trailing against the spine of every tome. she grinned, pulling out some ancient medical textbook. yellow light surrounded her and she jumped in surprise. “aurora! what are you, i mean, it’s  three am.” // @libertics

dinah’s big bad list of wanted connections 

ex #1 - this was dinah’s first long term relationship. they dated through high school and ended amicably when they parted ways for college. 

ex #2 - dinah’s first girlfriend! she came out as bisexual by dating this person. they also lasted a couple years before breaking up. you can decide whether it was amicable or not but they likely still talk. 

frequent customer - as a nurse dinah sees every citizen of brindle bay in the hospital from time to time. this person could get into fights often, or just be very accident prone and dinah finds herself stitching them up at least once every couple of months. 

crush - dinah is a hopeless romantic so she’s likely been nursing a long time crush on this muse but has never said anything. 

friends - despite her shyness dinah has a knack for making friends. these are likely people she’s known all her life.

don’t talk to me or my son ever again - this a muse that dinah has “adopted” as the mom friend she feels a responsibility to take care of this muse due to their wild antics 

high school bully - someone dinah knew in high school who made fun of her, whether it was for being shy or whatever. there’s a lot we could explore with this plot!! 

coworkers - anyone who works in the medical field 

coffee supplier - dinah loves tea and coffee so she likes to stop by a cafe every morning before work. this muse is a barista or just an employee there who’s familiar with her (and her coffee order)

dinah jane, former baby sitter - in her teenage years dinah used to babysit for extra cash so any younger muse she could have watched 

party friend - someone who is trying to pull dinah out of her shell and get her to go clubbing or go to parties and not just read pride & prejudice in her apartment for the umpteenth time

brindle bay welcomes dinah song the twenty-eight year old nurse. i kind of think she looks a lot like irene bae. they have been living in main street for six years and i heard they are known to be altruistic but also timid. when i think of them i think of the touch of a soft hand, fresh baked cookies, a blossom tree.

backstory

march 21st, 1991 dinah jane song was born the eldest of six children signaling the start of a new generation of songs

despite their status as a founding family the songs lived relatively humbly, instead of business they had headed the local church since the town’s conception 

(they also have owned businesses around town for years but psh)

her father was the lead pastor and his father before him, and his father before him. though they’ve recently lost the pastoral position to a newcomer

in her childhood dinah was ever the dutiful daughter, always taking care of her constantly growing parade of siblings and doing whatever her parents required of her 

dinah was always quiet, choosing to observe rather than speak out. her timidity was only superseded by the demands of her parents 

dinah never saw a future where she was separate from her family, so instead of going away for college she elected to attend a local community college and become a nurse 

she did gain some degree of independence when she moved into a small apartment on main street but still is pretty much constantly at her family’s home or the church 

personality 

dinah is painfully shy. it’s very difficult for her to talk to strangers or people she’s intimidated by. thankfully living in a small town her whole life allows her to be a little more open with people

she’s altruistic and will give 100% of herself to any person she meets

she’s wholly obedient to her parents and other authority figures in her life and struggles with saying no to other people

I wish I wasnt so shy. I’ve missed a lot of opportunities because of it. I hate when people think being shy is “cute.” It’s not cute. I live my life scared of doing all the things I want to do because I am terrified of coming out of my shell. I feel so ridiculous and stupid.

( the demure. ) don’t mistake a quiet person as a weak person. often a quiet person will say much more with their eyes than words could ever convey.
