" Phillippa’s heart didn’t pitter-patter or leap for joy or skip a beat or any of the other things it was supposed to do. It just carried on, day after day, year after year, performing the same steady, predictable routine without excitement or drama, or making any deviation from what it had always done. "

― Erica Ridley , The Perks of Loving a Wallflower (The Wild Wynchesters, #2)
