My grandmother sits with Julio in the living room, shares stories, and laughs.

His gaze travelled from Lloyd to his crew and then back to the ocean and the footprints in the sand that was being slowly pulled into the waters by the gentle lapping of the tide. "Just be yourself, lad. Whatever that might mean. I can tell you now, that trying to be what you ain't and adapting yourself to fit the ideal of someone else will never make you happy.

His brows arch while looking at me, I squinted my eyes at him. ‘Who told you? Don’t tell me you have left spies over me’ he laughed lightly. ‘Hey, come’ on. We need to have a strong reason to spy on someone, whereas there’s nothing interesting to learn about you so why bother to spy. You have limited activities and all of them are hell boring’ Jonathan’s mouth can’t keep itself shut for more than few minutes, his timer was up and with that his mouth opened to let the bullshit come out of it and with that, the peace I was expecting for rest of the day also gone.

Jonathan asked. Thiery, Noreen, and Ariel all turned to Jonathan. "I've heard of a place like that, but I don't know where it is or if it really exists," Thiery said. "Why do you ask that, baby?"

"Don't forget who you're talking to?" I remind him. "Don't talk to me about her like that." "Remember whose bed you lay atop." He says towering above me. "Remember who saved your arse and when you can move again be kinder to Elena, as foolish as she is you owe her your life."

"Take your hand off the necklace. Nobody's going to steal it." "I'm sorry, I didn't realize... sir." Jonathan looks at me with an expression I can't even describe. "You are messing with a hive full of bees." "Hummm" I think about the analogy he has made: "If the honey tastes good, we'll see if it's worth it." Jonathan stops walking.

This time I'm serious, clarifying the rules I want. "Shall we?"

You are aware. When Jona laughed, I whispered to him, "I swear, you are such a gentleman." Simply state it. He applies the quote to the term "friend." He was making fun of me for not wanting to use that other filthy term—you know, it is just part of everyday life. Attempting it once you obtain your wolf would be beneficial. We hear some teenagers from the other side, and John howls at the entrance. "We will catch up," they said as I pursued Vanessa.

“‘Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.’” I blinked. “That’s not a novel.” “No,” he said, lips curving faintly. “It’s a collection of speeches by Winston Churchill. You said nothing corny.” I smiled, only Andrew sterling will read a collection of speeches to someone in a plane scared of flying. His voice was deep, warm, and hypnotic as he continued. Every word rolled out smooth, steady, confident. The tension in my shoulders slowly melted away. Somewhere between his third paragraph and the next quote, my eyes grew heavy.
