“One day, you will understand what it is to feel your soul leave your chest, to fight against your heart’s instinct to follow.” Licking her dry lips, she added, barely a sound, “One day, you will know what it is to find and lose your true mate.” Reaching up, she smoothed her cool fingers down my cheek. “I would almost rather death for you, honey bee.”

“Dreams are strange curiosities,” he said, eyes still on the balloon.
“Sure, everyone possesses the ability to lay their heads down and imagine,
but to do so without limitations or doubt? That is something else entirely.

itself into them”—he swiftly stuck the balloon with my pin, and the air
whooshed out as it descended to the ground—“and they deflate. If you can
dream without limits, you can soar to great heights. Let the magic of your
imagination set you free.”
― Kerri Maniscalco, Escaping from Houdini
