Mother Mary of Anabolic Grace, we got Teras incoming?โ He levels angry blue eyes on me. โYouโre a hex, lady, dark luck, powerful bad juju, ken?โ โOnly to people who try to kidnap me,โ I tell him sweetly, and March snorts, so I feel obliged to add, โOr rescue meโฆโ And then Dina makes a pfft sound. โOr who travel with meโฆโ My gaze sweeps around the darkened interior, trying to find an ally, but nobody will hold my eyes more than two seconds, it seems. โFine, frag you all, Iโm dark juju, bad luck, and youโre all doomed.
Ann AguirreIโm not a woman you bring home to Mother, pick out china patterns with, or Mary forefend, breed. Iโve seen a chunk of the universe, true, but thereโs still so much more to see. I doubt Iโll ever cure this wanderlust, and Iโm content with dedicating my life to failing to sate it... Heโs never going to sit at my feet and write me poems, which is good because I hate poetry, except dirty ones that rhyme.
Ann AguirreNow you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there are three lives before you: His life, Her Life, and Your life together.
Ann AguirreI know just how he feels that itโs come to this. Sometimes, love isnโt enough, even when itโs all you have.
