When I was a little girl, I used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. I felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. So I would try and catch it in jars.

They would cease to believe in their reflections and eventually they would no longer believe in themselves. No, laughter must remain caged here.

Sophie DavisI love you, Erik,” I whispered. “You don’t
have to say it, too,” I hurried on, not giving him the chance to
reply. “I know you were about to before, but I just wanted to tell
you now, like this. I wanted you to know that it’s for real, and
not because of anything that either one of us makes the other one
say or do.”
“I love you, Natalia,” he said in a confident
tone. Then he laughed softly. “Man, I’ve never said that before. To
anyone. Feels kinda weird. Weird in a good way,” he assured me.

Better make sure you’re not in my way when I go down.” My eyebrow lifted as I dipped my head to his level. “You wouldn’t want to get squashed.
