Quote by C.J. Redwine

“His lips twitched upward, and warmth spread through him as he said, "I can't dance." "Dancing is for people who don't truly appreciate the buffet." "I have nothing to wear." "I'll find something for you." "The nobility will gossip about you until the day you die," he said. One last attempt to talk sense into her even though he knew it was a lost cause. "They need a new hobby anyway." She smiled at him.”

Children dodged in and out amongst them, ragamuffins all, some barefoot.”

“Paco Fuentes," Mrs. Peterson says, pointing to the table behind Mary. The handsome young man with pale blue eyes like his mother's and smoky black hair like his father's takes his assigned seat. Mrs. Peterson regards her new student over the glasses perched on her nose. "Mr. Fuentes, don't think this class will be a piece of cake because your parents got lucky and developed a medication to halt the progression of Alzheimer's. Your father never did finish my class and he flunked one of my tests, although I have a feeling your mother was the one who should have failed. But that just means I'll expect extra from you.”
