    Maggie Stiefvater
    “You two are too cute,” the counter girl said, setting two cups piled with whipped cream on the counter. She had a sort of lopsided, open smile that made me think she laughed a lot. “Seriously. How long have you been going out?”
    Sam let go of my hands to get his wallet and took out some bills. “Six years.”
    I wrinkled my nose to cover a laugh. Of course he would count the time that we’d been two entirely different species.
    Whoa.” Counter girl nodded appreciatively. “That’s pretty amazing for a couple your age."
    Sam handed me my hot chocolate and didn’t answer. But his yellow eyes gazed at me possessively—I wondered if he realized that the way he looked at me was far more intimate than copping a feel could ever be.
    I crouched to look at the almond bark on the bottom shelf in the counter. I wasn’t quite bold enough to look at either of them when I admitted, “Well, it was love at first sight.”
    The girl sighed. “That is just so romantic. Do me a favor, and don’t you two ever change. The world needs more love at first sight.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

    “I didn’t want my picture taken because I was going to cry. I didn’t know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I’d cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full.”
    Sylvia Plath

    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
