"And as much as you might feel overwhelmed right now, remember that you’re not alone. You've got me, Michal, and everyone else who cares about you. Don't let fear rob you of this precious moment in your life." Michal Sebastian, my voice echoed through the chaotic surroundings, drawing Shelly's attention towards the crumbling facade of the once-sturdy building. The sight was both harrowing and hopeful; amidst the

"Three at most. Before Christmas if the kiln schedule works." "Then we have one more space after this one." "Then we'll need a fourth shelf." "I'll put it up now." She turned and looked at me.

“You can. You will. Come here.” He came. I put both hands flat on his chest—felt the heartbeat under the cotton, quicker than it should have been, because he was genuinely bothered by this shelf in a way that I found so transparently, absurdly dear that I had to press my lips together for a moment before I spoke. “The shelf is perfect,” I said. “It is exactly what I wanted.” “It holds four books, Estelle. And it’s crooked.” “I am not going to let you redo this shelf. Because you made it. I don’t want another one. I want this one.”

"And you in mine, Selena. I'm grateful for the adventure and the opportunity to share it with you."

"There are a lot of young and beautiful girls in Eclipse Entertainment. I wouldn't have brought you if it wasn't a family reunion. What is yours is yours, and if it is not yours, you shall never expect it." Edwin's ruthless words made the shyness on Sharon's face dissipate instantly.

As they arrived at the bustling shopping mall, Shadrach stood at the entrance, surrounded by the sounds of chatter and footsteps echoing around him. Entering the store, he listened intently to the laughter and joy that filled the air.
