Quotes by Victoria Piontek (?)

“Dad holds my face in his hands and kisses my forehead. “This is life, Marvel. Not everything has to be perfect all the time and neither do you.” His words are such a relief that a fresh flood of tears falls from my eyes. I bury my head in his shoulder, and he rubs my back. I hang on to him, not wanting to let go. Butter pushes her nose between Dad and me, making us both laugh a little bit. Dad gives Butter a pat, then asks Mr. J, “Do you think we could talk privately?” “Of course.” Dad and Mr. J leave to talk while I wait with Butter. I pull her in my lap and hug her close, smushing my face into her fur, terrified I’m going to have to get rid of her after what I did. After a few minutes, Mr. J and Dad come back with Principal Huxx. I know it’s time to hear the consequences of my actions, and my heart thuds with dread.”
