    Huntley Fitzpatrick
    “Is Jase already gonna marry you?”

    I start coughing again. “Uh, No. No, George. I’m only seventeen.” As if that’s the only reason we’re not engaged.

    “I’m this many.” George holds up four, slightly grubby fingers. “But Jase is seventeen and a half. You could. Then you could live in here with him. And have a big family.”

    Jase strides back into the room, of course, midway through this proposition. “George. Beat it. Discovery Channel is on.”

    George backs out of the room but not before saying, “His bed’s really comfortable. And he never pees in it.”

    I'm a fast learner. "But that would never happen. Because astronauts are really, really careful."

    George gives me a smile, the same dazzling sweet smile as his big brother, although at this point, with green teeth. "I might marry you," he allows. "Do you want a big family?”
    Huntley Fitzpatrick, My Life Next Door

    “What are you doing to me, you plague of a girl?” he whispered.

    “Shazi,

    I prefer the color blue to any other. The scent of lilacs in your hair is a source of constant torment. I despise figs. Lastly, I will never forget, all the days of my life, the memories of last night—
    For nothing, not the sun, not the rain, not even the brightest star in the darkest sky, could begin to compare to the wonder of you.

    Khalid.”

    She swiveled her neck to meet his gaze. “Then never speak of sending me away again. I am not yours to do with as you will.”

    Khalid’s features smoothed knowingly. “How right you are. You are not mine.” He dropped his palm from the door. “I am yours.”
    Renee Ahdieh, The Wrath and the Dawn
