He had taken her hand before, quickly and for functional reasons—usually to drag her off to someplace she didn’t want to go—but he had never held her hand. Not the way couples did in parks or lovers did in old movies. Maddy stood there and felt the heat of his grip. It made her think of that first night in the diner, when they had talked about pretend memories and she had felt so connected to him.” ThinkingWayWantFirstsMadeReasonHandsNightFeltMemoriesTakenCoupleLoversFingersConnectedHeatParksDragPalmsLaceDinersOld Movie Author:Scott Speer
“The Strength of a hero is not in her abilities. In her weapons. These things are important, but they are not the source of her strength. The source of her strength is in her belief in an idea – the idea that those who are strong, and those who are able, protect those who are not, and those who cannot protect themselves. The idea that the good, and the right, will triumph. She is willing to put herself in harm’s way – in mortal danger – to prove her belief in this idea.” “That it is the duty of those who have within themselves the power, and the gift, to help others.” WayImportantIdeasHelpingAbleBeliefStrongAbilityDangerWillingDutySourceHeroProtectProveWeaponsHarmHelping OthersMortalsTriumph Author:Scott Speer
