“It was strange to be outside on a summer’s evening. Rachel breathed in the scent of the delicate white flowers on the star jasmine and looked up at the sky. She saw what at first she thought was a bird, then realised it was a bat, and beyond that, in the sky, she saw thousands of stars.”

“Shouldn't someone give a pep talk or something?' Minho asked...
"Go ahead," Newt replied.
Minho nodded and faced the crowd. 'Be careful,' he said dryly. 'Don't die.'
Thomas would have laughed if he could, but he was too scared for it to come out.
'Great. We're all bloody inspired,' Newt answered.”

Thank you for the friend invite, Mary. I have lived in Penarth for 11 years now but I was born and grew up in Walsall, just north of Birmingham. My husband is Welsh by birth but lived in the Midlands from the age of 3. I read almost exclusively historical romances.
