“I don’t know how you do it, Michael,” Jonathan confessed. “How do you stay so… strong?” 

Michael exhaled slowly. “It’s not my strength, Jonathan. It’s His. Trust me. There are moments when the fear becomes a monster, when the pain makes you want to scream until you have no voice left.

“The sandwich was gone before she realized what she was eating, quickly followed by the apple slices, and Leonid laughed as he handed her a large glass of water which she promptly chugged.

“I will say one thing, all this dancing sure makes me hungry.” He gave Katerina a mischievous look. “There’s no use denying it doesn’t make you hungry, I don’t
think I’ve ever seen you eat that fast before. It was the most unladylike thing I’ve ever seen.”

Katerina cleared her throat and arched her eyebrows. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she replied primly.”

“When the light begins to fade
And shadows fall across the sea
I will go, and you shall not.
Do not stand at my grave and weep for me.
I have held the line with my brothers,
To my country I was a soldier true
I must go now with the wind
And leave you waiting on the shore
I am the soldier who held back the storm,
I am the father who led his child,
I am the man who loved his wife,
I am the one who protected them all
Do not weep for me,
For now I shall be free…”
― Ellette G. Ulmer, The Choices We Made

factory robots. That could be exciting.”

“Don!” Sara scolded.

“Or not,” Don said, laughing guiltily.”

“I don’t know if anything compares to performing,” Katerina agreed. “But I wouldn’t be a star without you or Dominic.

I think you should take your title seriously and be nicer.”
