“The moment you stop believing is the instant everything loses meaning.” —Braelyn Miller

“I’m gonna pick up my puzzles. Have fun with your staring contest. I hope you win, Miss Braelyn.”

I glance down, collecting the scatters of truth. “You two looked like a dream I never wanted to have.”

You’re my sunlight and rainbows after a lifetime of storms. Don’t leave me in the dark.”

“I have a limited vocabulary when it comes to sweet stuff. I’ll apologize in advance.”
