“That’s when Eena cut in. Both Ravelly and Unan looked to her as she announced, “My favorite part of the book is at the very end.”
“Where Imorih battles the three-headed dragon,” Unan presumed.
Eena shook her head. “Nope.”
“Afterwards, where Imorih befriends the beast and earns his trust,” Ravelly guessed.
Eena shook her head again. “No, sir. I mean the very end.”
Unan’s brow crinkled as he tried to recall what came next in the story. “Where she finds her prince who was held captive by none other than the same three-headed dragon?”
The young Sha shook her head a third time.
“I know! When the dragon flies them on his back to the edge of their homeland! That would be quite the experience, wouldn’t it?” Ravelly seemed certain he had guessed the finishing act of the story.
“That’s not the very, very end,” Eena grinned.
“But that’s the last page,” Unan contended, his finger pointing at the final leaf in the book.
Wahlister was the one who finally guessed the correct answer. “They kiss on the dragon’s back at the very end. That’s where they promise to never allow anything, even death, to separate them again.”
“Yes!” Eena chirped. “That’s the best scene of all.”
“I don’t recall that promise,” Ravelly admitted.
Unan assured the old Grott, “It’s right here.” He read the line that told of a promise made sure by a kiss. “Their lips sealed the whispered vow, ‘We shall never part again, even if our fate is to haunt one another in death.’” After reading it, he groaned aloud.
“Only a woman would remember that line.”

Then, after the storm, when the tears have run dry and my eyes choose to open, I will look for your rainbow of hope.”

“Her eyes shifted to me, piercing my soul in the process. “Your troubles are temporary, Miss Annabelle. You will grow and mature and find yourself free of them one day. And life will blossom for you then, in a way it never can in some fantasy.”
I nodded, intimidated by her powerful stare. She stepped closer to me, her words and her look intensifying.

“It doesn’t ever change. Does the sun not set in your dreams?”
Eena grinned at his profile, remembering the first time Ian had noticed the same peculiarity. “No. It never sets.” She watched his brow wrinkle as he wondered at the view.
“What good is a stagnant sunset?”
Eena looked at the auburn lights. The question made her think for a moment. “Well, it’s always exactly what I want it to be, right between day and night.”
“But I thought the beauty of a sunset was watching it change, marveling at the shift in colors as they intensify and then eventually fade.”
“All that leaves you with is darkness,” she muttered.
He turned to look at her. “You’re afraid of the dark?”
She shook her head. “I’m afraid of what happens in the dark.”
A look of concern questioned her meaning.
“Nightmares,” she explained. “And solitude. And loneliness. The dark is where monsters come to life and people feel the need to leave you. Life is never secure in the dark. You never see things clearly in the dark.”

“Before the Dawn
In the darkest night the sun may seem like an extinguished match or an ember drowned by rain.
A light forever lost.
The cold world grows steadily colder and shrinks like the abused, closing in on all sides. Laughter, smiles, the glimmer of dancing eyes, and all else indicative of human brightness is gone. Colors leeched from everything leave shadows and emotion dull-gray in their absence.
Time is a void. A moment feels eternal.
Hope does not blossom in the darkness but withers fast, starving for what only the sun can offer. As its petals turn to dust, fear blows in and sweeps the remnants away. The soul succumbs by degrees to nightmares emboldened by the dead of night.
All is lost! All is lost! The wretched sun, repulsed by our nothingness, has abandoned the lives in its care!
And then the eyes open wide, seeing mountains take shape on the horizon.”

“Do you want to know if you have found the right one? That person with whom you can spend the rest of your life, if not eternity? Then answer these questions:
1.) Do you consider this person to be your best friend in the world?
2.) Can you (do you) talk to this person about anything—openly, honestly, and without fear?
3.) Does this person understand and support your dreams (realistic or not) without apathy or criticism?
4.) Does this person share your core values, beliefs, and principles?
5.) Does this person possess a kind disposition and an intellect comparable to your own?
If the answer to every question is a solid yes, then chances are you have found the right one.”
