“The fantasy bookshelf, complete with beautifully covered books about dragons and witches, is home to the third gargoyle statue, who has really fantastical wings and big claws curling around the miniature book she’s reading. Unlike the others, both of whom look ferocious, this girl looks mischievous, like she knows she’s going to get in trouble for being up way past her bedtime, but she just can’t put the story down. I decide instantly that she’s my favorite and pick out a book from her shelf to read tonight in case I can’t sleep. Then nearly laugh out loud as I trace my finger around the edges of a sticker that reads, “I’m not a damsel in distress; I’m a dragon in a dress.”

“Alex Trebek’s voice fills the room, and if I wasn’t looking at his cobwebby hair on the screen, I would swear I was in a time warp. I watched Jeopardy religiously in middle school while waiting for Mom to get home from work.”

“Maybe we used up all our happiness. Maybe everybody only gets so much.”

“My mother always said not to leave the house in shoes you can’t walk a mile in.”
