Quotes from Laura J. Burns

Forget about weird Boy and move on

Gabriel Squeezed His Eyes Shut. In the distance He Heard shay Screaming His Nam. What Had he done.? The answer Slammed Into His Mind. He Had Fallen in Love with Her. It had Clouded His Judgment. He LOVED Her, HEART, SOUL, And BODY. And He Had Sentenced Her To Death.

Gabriel squeezed his eyes shut. In the distance he heard Shay screamin his name. What had he done? The answer slammed into his mind. He had fallen in love with her. It had clouded his judgment. He loved her, heart, soul, and body. And he had sentenced her to death.

When we think about fairy tales, we think about happily ever afters, forgetting the darkness that stories beginning with "once upon a time" so often contain. I tried to protect Shay from that darkness. But there was no way to shield her from the truth: Life is not a fairy tale.
