I loved him so, even his past was precious to me. I found myself kissing each mark, thinking, I would have had it never happen, I would wish it away, taking him further and further back to a time when he had known no disappointments, no battles, no wounds, as I erased each one. To make him again like Caesarion. Yet if we take the past away from those we love - even to protect them - do we not steal their very selves? ↗

I was just kidding, shuck-face," Minho said. "Let's all go over there. She could have an army of psycho girl ninjas hiding in that shack of hers." "Psycho girl ninjas?" Newt repeated, his voice showing he was surprised, if not annoyed, by Minho's additude. ↗

And then they were kissing. Something exploded within his chest burning away the tension and confusion and fear. Burning away the hurt of seconds earlier. For a moment it felt like nothing mattered anymore. Like nothing would matter ever again. ↗

Teresa stood up, surprising Thomas with her confidence. “Guess he forgot to tell the little part about me kicking him in the groin and climbing out the window.” Thomas almost laughed as Newt turned to an older boy standing nearby, whose face had turned bright red. “Congrats, Jeff,” Newt said. “You’re officially the first guy here to get your butt beat by a girl. ↗

Non ti fidare mai di chi dice di servire Dio. Ti parleranno con serenità e buone parole, così colte che non riuscirai a capire. Cercheranno di convincerti con argomentazioni che solo loro sanno imbastire per catturare la tua ragione e la tua coscienza. Ti si presenteranno come uomini buoni e affermeranno di volerci salvare dal male e dalla tentazione, ma in realtà la loro opinione sul nostro conto è scritta e tutti loro, come i soldati di Cristo che sono, seguono fedelmente quanto trovano nei libri. Le loro parole sono scuse e le loro ragioni identiche a quelle che tu potresti dare a un moccioso. ↗
