Quote by Lisa Kleypas

“West took a step back, dropped the combs to the floor, and reached out to grasp a handful of shining red hair. He brought a few of the ruddy locks to his face, stroking them over his cheeks and mouth, and kissed them. His face was grave, almost severe, as he stared at her with absolute concentration. "How can you be so beautiful?”

No, instead, he was faced with a haughty little North American woman who looked like she'd just stepped out of a Pre-Raphaelite painting. Her long wavy copper hair was plaited back, exposing the smooth, pale column of her neck, and her face was framed with cat's-eye glasses that only served to accentuate her piercing gaze. She was young, younger than many of the screenwriters he knew. There was a sunniness about her that spoke of someone who wasn't yet as disillusioned with the industry as he was. Peachy, that's how he'd describe her.”

“It’s hard to not feel a smidge of jealousy, especially when I am waiting for a similar blessing to break through in my own life and it seems God is answering other people’s prayers and not mine. But I can’t just sit on the sidelines and grumble about it! I need to have a trusting spirit towards God and know that if he can work a miracle for that person, he can certainly bless me! And when I rejoice over someone’s good news, I know that my friend will be there to celebrate with me when the time comes!”
