In that setting, the strong, cold brandy tasted like a witch’s brew, a magical mix of black-molasses night, falling-sugar snow, and a spice of stars hidden behind the storm.

“How did you get like this?” “Like what?” “Like here but not here. Like this snow I can’t touch without it melting in my hand.”
😩😩😩
“I don’t care if I’ll never see you again,” he said. “I want to be with you. If that’s what you want, too.” She unzipped the tent. “It’s what I want,” she said. “I’ll even let you bring the pony.”
Uff 😮💨🥵😮💨
was nineteen.” “For how long?” “Three years. I can’t live any other way. None of us is meant to. You know that, right? Agriculture turned us into prisoners. We never wanted to grow crops and live in houses. We were nomads for millions of years.”
“That’s your genetic memories making you see, hear, smell, touch, and long for how we lived for hundreds of generations. Inside we’re still a nomadic species. All people feel it, but most of them don’t know what’s making them want something that’s always out of reach. They buy fancier cars and bigger houses, but it never
makes them feel better. They just keep getting more depressed until they die.”
Mama would be home soon. Raven sensed it.

“It smells delicious,” Dr. Pat said. “It’s a deer,” Raven said. “Mama and I cut it up ourselves.” Aunt Sondra grimaced. “You kill deer on your property?” she asked Mama. “Tell the story, Raven,” Mama said. “It got hit by a car,” Raven said. Now both the doctor and her aunt

Reece joined them, stopping to look at the skulls on the bone table. “Are these the shrunken heads of the last guys who trespassed into the Forbidden Kingdom?”
Lmao!
“What’s your favorite dinner?” she asked. He looked at Huck and Jackie apologetically. “Prime rib.” Jackie and Huck groaned. “I like prime rib, too,” Raven said. “Great. We’ll send the vegans out to pasture, and we’ll feast.”
Lmao!!!
“We’ll have to alter our image of her. I’ll no longer imagine her toasting squirrel on a stick over a fire.” “I can do that, too,” she said.
I can't with this guy lol!
“Happy birthday to me.” The alcohol was unexpected; Reece still rarely drank. “How’d you get that?” Huck asked. “My mom, of course,” he said.
I love the dark humer of this guy lol!
“Happy birthday to the best ass I’ve ever known.” “My ass thanks you,” Reece said, popping up and baring his butt for a second. “Did you see the sideways smile?” They all laughed, and Jackie said, “I’ve lost my appetite.”

“Are you spending the summer here?” Tom asked him. “I can’t,” River said. “I haven’t learned how to breathe this much water with my air.”

He looked around the lounge to make sure no one was listening. At that early hour, they were the only ones there. “I met someone seven months ago. He’s the love of my life.”
He? He's gay!?
“Are you a train wreck?” she asked. “No. I’m The Little Engine That Could.

Who could know their future with a person they cared about? And even if they did somehow find out something bad was going to happen with that person, would they give up on them? Let them suffer alone? Love couldn’t be removed like a thorn from a thumb.
Ellis pressed Raven against her body. Raven thought she must remember the sweet smell and feel of her mother from when she was a baby. Because Ellis was exactly what she wanted. Better even than the tree. Raven had never cried so hard. “You’ll be okay,” Ellis said. “Go ahead and cry. You need to. It’s good to let it out. I love you so much. I love you. My sweet baby. Everything will be all right.”
