    Jandy Nelson
    “There were once two sisters
    who were not afriad of the dark
    because the dark was full of the other's voice
    across the room,

    and starless
    they walked home together from the river
    seeing who could last the longest
    without turning on her flashlight,
    not afraid
    because sometimes in the pitch of night
    they'd lie on their backs
    in the middle of the path
    and look up until the stars came back
    and when they did,
    they'd reach their arms up to touch them
    and did.”

    Chloe Neill
    “I wanted what most people wanted—love, companionship.
    I wanted someone to touch. I wanted someone to touch me back.
    I wanted someone to laugh with, someone who would laugh with me, laugh at me.
    I wanted someone who looked and sawme . Not my power, not my position.
    I wanted someone to say my name. To call out, “Merit,” when it was time to go, or when we arrived.
    Someone who wanted to say to someone else, with pride, “I’m here with her. With Merit.”
    I wanted all those things. Indivisibly.
    But I didn’t want them from Morgan.”
    Chloe Neill, Friday Night Bites
