1 " And I just know that this memory will be forever burned into my brain, because this kind of magic - the kind that can't be conjured with a spell, where everything is just right, and all your problems vanish for three perfect minutes - doesn't happen everyday. "

2 " And I sit down at the kitchen table and realize that Mom really died. That she’ll never come back. And that I am alone. Cold hands reach out for me, threaten to pull me into a dark place where I might never escape, and I let them. It’s like I’m trapped in a block of ice that nothing can penetrate. Everything around me is just a blur of colour, a flash of movement, garbled sounds. I can’t quite decipher and don’t want to. Time passes like sludge "

He sighs and slackens his grip. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you.” I don’t say anything, but it’s not because I’m mad at him. I just don’t know how to tell him how grateful I am that he understood me, that he knew how I was feeling – torn up that I could feel anything but anguish when the memory of Mom dying is still a heavy weight on my heart – all without me having to say a single word.

Paige yells, and then she's talking to me in a calming voice again. "Is it something Bianca did? Want me to punch her in the face?"I look at her through laced fingers."Just kidding," she says gently. "The ovaries."I let out a tiny laugh, and Paige hugs me closer. "
