“For so long, he’d tried to achieve happiness, to obtain it without anyone else. But what if happiness wasn’t an achievement? What if it wasn’t obtained?
What if it was a choice?”

“He gripped the little book tightly, staring at its dark blue cover, its silver designs, and its ribbon bookmark. Imprinted on the front
in gold lettering was the Greek word μπλεβιβλιο. Bluebook.”
― Jayden Jelso, Talon
