“Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
"Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."

"It's okay," he whispers. His fingers brush at the tears on my cheeks. "Don't cry."

He kisses me again, a litte more firmly, and then he pulls back to look down into my face.”
