    C. Toni Graham
    “Shayna lunged and swiped her sword just inches from Brigara's face.
    Brigara instinctively reacted by raising both hands to block the blade.
    The Book of Grimoire dropped to the floor. Brigara's eyes narrowed as she became aware that she'd been caught off guard. She scanned the room quickly, and her lips tightened as she returned her glare to meet Shayna's tear-filled eyes. Shayna's hands trembled, and the sword felt heavier than usual. She teetered slightly and blinked hard. Her heart was beating double time and ached in her chest. She gulped and told herself to stay steady. She struggled against the impulse that beckoned her to end the despised druid's life.
    "You killed Dreya! You're a miserable piece of trash!" Shayna shouted. Her mouth was dry, and she strained to fight back tears, but they spilled over. She repositioned her sword and aimed it at Brigara’s heart. ”

    Orson Scott Card
    “This emotion I'm feeling now, this is love, right?"

Our minds touched. Our hearts touched. Our souls touched.
    We separate.”
