“Moony and the jitterbugs swayed and staggered, trying to keep their balance while ducking to avoid an incoming snowman figure.
"This ain't what we signed up for, Cuz," said the bug playing the upright bass.

“That was close," I said at last. My heart was still hammering so hard, it felt as if it might burst. We'd snuck into someone else's house and nearly been caught. We'd committed a crime! The adrenaline coursed through my veins. But we'd escaped! We'd pulled it off! I suddenly felt wonderfully light.

Darcy looked at me. "Yes." He grinned. The twinkle in his eyes made him look much younger than usual. "We did a pretty good job. Maybe we should turn professional."

"Professional housebreakers?" I asked, and now I found myself grinning, too. "Sounds cool."

"I reckon we've got what it takes. How about we try a bank robbery next?"

"Or a roast dinner?"

Darcy glanced at the clock on the dashboard. "Oh, crap!" he exclaimed.

Then he started the engine.”

“I wore a blue silk Brunswick jacket, close-fitting and edged with dark fur, and a matching petticoat, both quilted with a pattern of diamonds and swirling flowers.

I, Eliza Hamilton”

“Devin, stay back! I've got this!" Heath says as he struggles to break free.
I wave the pearl necklace higher. "It's a nice, sparkly necklace," I say. "So which do you want? Shiny jewelry or a smelly prince?"
The harpy drops Heath to the floor and grabs the jewelry. Heath looks up at me in surprise.
"You're welcome," I say...”

“We need to go back" Claire repeated, but her words were less commanding than before. She drew in a deep breath as she looked at the moonlit walls.

“The stories would lift me up,
the words like a breeze beneath
butterfly wings,
and take me far from the pain in my belly
and the tight knot of my heart

I hope they will have stories
at my school.
If they don't know how,
perhaps I can teach them.
It isn't such a hard thing.
All you must do is say
Once there was...
and let your hoping find the words.”

Scorching glory of sun,
Furious splendor of stars,

“Love is a choice. Either we choose to behave lovingly toward others....or not; either we conduct ourselves in ways that enhance our relationship....or not. But we should be aware that genuine love requires effort. Simply put, if we wish to build lasting relationship, we must be willing to do our part.

Building lasting relationship requires compassion, wisdom, empathy, kindness, courtesy, and forgiveness ( lots of forgiveness). If that sounds like work, it is – which is perfectly okay, since the rewards of love always outweigh the costs.

Zora Neale Hurston observed, "Love makes your soul crawl out of its hiding place." Your capable of choosing that kind of love—and the world becomes a better place when you do.v
