Still seated, he cast a glance at Drake, then spoke up. “In Sonnet 18, Shakespeare uses metaphor and seasonal imagery to convey the transient nature of beauty and the eternal nature of verse.” Applause followed. Real, thunderous applause. Drake blinked down at his notebook, suddenly warm despite the cold stares around him. He didn’t know why… but he was glad Miguel had answered.

Ava stood rooted in place, her hands trembling at her sides. For a heartbeat, silence wrapped around her like a suffocating blanket. Her reflection in the window stared back at her, unyielding and cold, but the storm inside her chest raged too violently to contain.

18 which I luckily read last night. “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer’s lease hath...” I hear her voice fade in the background as my eyes feel heavier. I don’t know how long I slept last night but I know whatever amount I managed to sleep last night wasn’t enough for me.

Miranda exclaimed," don't say that. Claudia and I still need you here with us. I don't know what I will do if you too left me." " Oh dear, you should now by now that death will come to us in one way or another, living in denial will not do you any good." " I know dad. I just don't want to think about it." " Ok okay let's go inside now and I must say,I love how you are taking care of mom's roses." Claudia said. " Thank you honey, I remember how Clara used to devoted herself to these flowers. She would always say that if reincarnation was real, then she would want to come back as a red rose."

The poem went this way, Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I did not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uprising rush Oh quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

Serena misunderstood his meaning, grabbing the neckline with a shy expression. "The nightgown is very comfortable. I love it. Be gentle later, don't tear it." Vincent had a splitting headache. He pushed Serena away and scolded her harshly. "I've already told you I'm not interested in you! My mate will only ever be Nina. You don't deserve to wear her clothes or touch her things!"

As we stood there, locked in a standoff, the door was suddenly pushed open. Isabella walked in, holding a small black velvet box. "Soren, you left your cufflinks at my place."

Brianna suddenly remembered poetry she once had read in a book: O my Luve is like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve is like the melody That’s sweetly played in tune. So fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I; And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only love! And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my love,

"You're Mrs. Canfield now. I'm not so petty as to envy a man like him." However, envy was written all over him. The mere thought of her old flame, Anthony, set his nerves on edge. Jessica held out a grape to Simon's lips. "Have a grape, hubby." That simple word, 'hubby', sent a wave of heat through Simon. He looked away, his throat working as he gulped.
