“Her face, made pastel by the light of her computer monitor, reflected in the window. She failed to recognize the girl, thought seeing her now was like a dream belonging to someone else, and that she had been asleep all her life. She didn’t want to see herself, looked beyond the image to the ancient oak tree in the yard.

“I made up my mind right then what I really wanted in my life. It was comfort of a home and a family. But more than that, I wanted love. I wanted love to surround me. I wanted to swim in it. I wanted to hold it in my hand like heated sand and pour it through my fingers so it covered my feet. I wanted to taste it, I wanted to smell it. I wanted to wrap myself up in it like a blanket and stay safe and warm inside of it forever. And I wanted to give it. I wanted to drown people in it. I wanted to love with all my heart and be loved just as much in return.” LoveHopeNovel Quote Book:After Forever Ends Source: After Forever Ends

“Mahoney's emotions raced through her like the breath of the ocean, tides ebbing and flowing, pulling, and pushing, tearing her apart until she understood that life and death were neither with nor without reason, and everyone was like the stars, fires bursting into the cosmos to touch what they didn't understand.

The moment when you're most confused about day and night is what it's like being a ghost. You're caught between two truths and can't find your way, so you wait for an answer.” Ghosts Paranormal Book:Falls the Breath Source: Falls the Breath

“The misty sun came through the window and cast a yellow halo around her, making her eyes glow like clover. Lorenzo yearned to comfort her, but he felt lately that it was his presence over the years that helped put her in her state. She was an attractive, bright, and funny girl who should have been living a bold teenage life, but she existed with one foot in the living world and one in the grave. What he hadn’t known when he fell in love with her as a stepbrother would adopt a new, much younger sister, was that when ghosts touched a person directly, it changed them and separated them from their society. Eleni had seen things regular people couldn’t and experienced things that defied their reality and religious beliefs, and, frankly, terrified them to a point where they shunned her by reflex. In a way, her relationship with the dead made her a ghost herself, quiet, looming on the outskirts, largely unseen.” ParanormalGhostsPsychicsPsychic Children Book:Falls the Breath Source: Falls the Breath
