Vanessa And Michael Quotes

"You're not allowed in here," she tried to shout at him, but during the transition she rarely controlled her vocal cords. A haunted sound like wind whispering through trees came from her throat.
Michael looked around the room, baffled. What would he do when he found her shimmering like a ghost?”

“Michael nudged her and whispered into her ear. “You’re a rock goddess.”
She smiled. “If you only knew.”
