“If they don't see it's wrong, if they don't say it's wrong, it can happen again. It could happen to you; it could happen to me.”

“These trees were dying. My friends told me I should uproot them to spare the rest of the forest. But I could feel too much life in their trunks to pluck them from the ground.'
'How did you save them?' Biana asked.
'I listened. And I realized their voices had been silenced. So I gave them mine. I sang of sunlight and rain and rich soil. And hope. Always hope.' Calla moved to another tree, one that had the widest curve of them all, and lay in the slope of its trunk. 'For a week, I stayed right here. I didn't stop, even to rest my throat. I could barely rasp by the end, but I could feel their strength returning. They'll forever bear the mark of their trials, but they are survivors. Proof that anything can be overcome.'
Keefe sat on one of the curved trunks, and Sophie waited for him to make a joke. But he just slid his fingers over the rough bark.”

“They pulled apart when Keefe shouted, 'YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS!'
They ran to the main room and found Keefe standing under the skylight, holding up Mr. Snuggles like it was a baby lion about to be made king. The sparkly red dragon twinkled almost as much as Keefe's eyes as he said, 'I went in to check on our boy and found him cuddling with this!'
'Isn't that the same dragon Fitz brought to your house that one time?' Dex asked Sophie.
'WHAT?' Keefe shouted. 'YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!'
'Mr. Snuggles wasn't my secret to share,' Sophie said.
'ITS NAMES IS MR. SNUGGLES?! That is....I can't even...' Keefe ran back to Fitz's room shouting, 'ARE YOU MISSING YOUR SNUGGLE BUDDY?!'
'Fitz is going to die of embarrassment. You know that, right?' Biana asked.
Down the hall, Sophie could hear Keefe laughing hysterically.”
