She patted his head like he was her oversized baby, repeating herself when Damian shook his head happily. "What's that?" He lay down, wrapping his arms around her legs. He moved her hand from her belly to his head. "Tell me." 'God, baby, your dad is jealous of you.' As she stroked his hair, she began telling the tale. "It's a children's story. You really don't know it, love? It's about a rabbit who races against a turtle." The book she was holding was a collection of classic fables-popular bedtime stories or early reading practice for preschoolers. The short text, accompanied by bright illustrations, made it easy for kids to enjoy.

I declined into the chair, my eyes scanning the room. Ella did the last button of Ivy's pajamas and smiled at me. I flashed a signal to Ella to help me out and she laughed, her fingers pointing to a nearby shelf in the room where all of Ivy's bedtime stories were arranged. I walked over to the shelf and picked a book barely glancing over to see it's contents. I sat back into my chair and was about reading when I skimmed it through the first chapter. The story was about a frog who dared to dream, going on an whimsical adventures. “I'm going to be telling you the story of the frog who dared to dream that he could change the frogville.”

I ask again for clarification. "I told you. Once you've read the entire book," he says nonchalantly. "The book is, like, 500 pages. That'll take me ages. By the time we start, I won't even remember what's on the first ten pages," I grumble. "Then you'd better get started, little bean," he teases.

She didn't know what book they meant. "Then, let's take out your books. Have you read them?" Grabbing their bags, the students answered. "Yes, Miss. I read it before bed, ten pages long. The story was really exciting, and the pictures were cute! It made me interested in going on an adventure." "No, Miss. I just got back to L City last night. I didn't have time to read it." "Me too! I just got back from Iceland last night. I haven't even had time to open the package yet."

“If you sleep now, Papi will tell you a special story you’ve never heard.” Ash paused mid-chaos. “What story?” “Secret. The title is… The Sausage Princess Trapped in the Yam Castle.” I groaned. “Seriously.” But Ash looked spellbound. He grabbed his blanket and dragged Pepper along as he dashed into the bedroom. Thirty minutes, five pages, and one absurd fairy tale later — complete with a vegetarian dragon, a talking prata, and a prince who won a flip-flop racing contest — the tiny creature finally passed out.

It felt like time had rolled back a week. Dorothy had come running to me in tears. "Mommy, my tooth fell out. It's bleeding!" I comforted her while helping stop the bleeding. The tooth was too tiny and slipped into a crack in the floor. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get it out. Back then, Chester had even said, "Enough with the digging. We're changing the floor anyway. Let it be a mark Dottie left in this house."

"That the people who stay are the ones who were supposed to." He looked at the book. "Not the ones who were convenient. Not the ones who were merely suitable." He looked back at her. "The ones who were supposed to." She sat with that for a long moment. Then: "Read it to me." He looked at her. "It's a children's book." "I know," she said. "Read it to me." Something moved in his expression. "All right," he said. He opened the book. He read it in twenty minutes—the whole of it, slowly, in the kitchen with the September evening at the windows and the south garden doing its seasonal work and the house quiet around them in the way it was quiet on Friday evenings when it was simply being held by th

That again did something dangerous to my chest. Something I didn't want to name. I swallowed hard. "Tonight-" Before I could finish, the bell beside me rang, signaling the five-minute end of our conversation. A ghost of relief washed through me. I cleared my throat, darting to the next person on the line, walking closer to my desk. "Five minutes is gone. Rules are rules. A lot of people are here actually to talk about books. " The look on his face deepened with amusement. "I still haven't gotten an autograph from my favorite author..."

I started searching for a book to read and when I finally found one, Khloe and Natalie arrived. "Morning Khloe" they greeted "Morning guys. How was your night?" "It was fine and yours?" "Fine too. Let's get down to business" "Sure!!" They dropped their bags and also went to take the books they would read. "The time is 7:10 now meaning we only have 30 minutes to read so let's make use of our time wisely" I said to them We started reading and at exactly 7:40, my watch beeped signifying our time for reading is up.

Now is a really good time since I'm alone and not expecting any visitors. I really can't explain just how time flies. I've been reading the book and I'm on CHAPTER thirty-five. It just feels like I read chapter one five seconds ago. But now it's almost 5 pm. I take my phone under the pillow taking a little bit of a break from the book. I get all these messages and missed calls from Bruna telling me to get online. This doesn't sound good.
