Life was beautiful.
It isn’t finished yet, but I thought we could work on it together, since you’re supposed to be some sort of ‘wizard with words’ or something. I’ll ignore that last bit of sarcasm and pretend you just...
I was green with envy, Maude. Do you take pleasure in tormenting the person who’s given you his heart wholeheartedly ever since the day we first met? I
I had every right because you’re stubborn, and unless you saw it for yourself you wouldn’t have believed me when I told you this direction you’re taking is wrong. You told me once not to expect you to...
I can fight. I’m no black belt, but I can still stand up for myself. This is how I would react if I ran into a werewolf in a dark alley with ominous music playing. Girls are sick of playing damsels in...
You’ve got good taste. Though he seems way more obstinate than Matt ever was. I’d watch out. I’m not interested in him, Aria said through gritted teeth. I have a boyfriend. We’ll see, was all Maude an...

Oh my God, she choked, stepping away from him as he reached out for her. Don’t touch me. What’s wrong? he asked worriedly. What’s wrong? What’s wrong! she shrieked. You stole my song, Thomas! He start...
Mrs.
Maybe our conception of ‘all’ is ill conceived. But if by all you mean that I have to choose between love and ambition, I don’t think they’re incompatible. If they were, I would have to give up not on...
Maxime frowned upon being paired with his cousin, who wrapped his arm around his stiff shoulders and leaned in to kiss his cheek while Maxime resisted, holding him at arm’s length. Give your cousin a...
