He's been out for a while," she said. "You ready to take a break?" Hopper could exist in this living form or be transformed into a small statue, which helped avoid uncomfortable questions when people came by. Only she could transform him though. "Yeah. He keeps trying to eat my paints. And I don't want him to watch me kiss you goodbye. ↗

There was nothing but flesh and fire left, and I wasn’t going to lie to myself—at least not tonight. ↗

He gave me a look of mock surprise. "You mean you aren’t already? And here I thought you were dazzled from the moment you met me. ↗
