| 1d3afe7 | Suddenly a canoe appeared and in it a young boy with dark hair and sad eyes rowed toward Aria. She looked up only once the boat was close enough and brought her hand to her heart with joy. "Maxime," she whispered. With a gesture of his hand, he invited her to take a seat in his boat, which she promptly did. "I suppose you've heard by now that I was leaving." Aria nodded without speaking. "I couldn't leave without honoring my promise that I'.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 5e5dd22 | Had you asked me the question a couple of hours ago, I would have been silly enough to think that the only feelings I felt for you were those of friendship. I know now that your friendship is no longer what I want. I'm in love with you and the knowledge that you will be far from me next year breaks my heart." Maxime's eyes shone as she spoke. "I feel the same." He took her hand and pressed it lightly. "I promise you, we'll find a way to mak.. | Anna Adams | ||
| bd25f6d | Mrs. Ruchet was a big, imposing woman with short, curly, blonde hair tangled wildly around her oval face. She spent most of her days sitting on her couch, her two huge legs propped on a dark green cushion in front of her, watching soap operas on television, all the while hating the actresses for being so thin. | Anna Adams | ||
| 5147ae0 | I had every right because you're stubborn, and unless you saw it for yourself you wouldn't have believed me when I told you this direction you're taking is wrong. You told me once not to expect you to love all my songs but to expect honesty. I will return the same courtesy, and I refuse to falsely flatter your ego. I love you, Maude, but you can't expect me to agree with you, especially when you're making a huge mistake!" Maude" | Anna Adams | ||
| 809baa2 | I love you, Maude Laurent. I've loved you since the moment you poured that cup of coffee all over me and berated me in French and I haven't stopped since. I could say that I love your smile, your laugh, and your sunny disposition. But the truth is I love you more when you frown, when you glare, when you're mad as hell like you are right now. Love is too feeble a word to express how I feel. I love and need you in my life and I'd rather you b.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 25d07fa | Shouldn't he admit his feelings?" Maude called out to him. "What?" Matt asked. "The song," she reminded him. "If he's feeling so confused, I guess the best thing to do is admit them to the object of his affection," Maude suggested innocently. "What if he's afraid of rejection?" Matt asked gazing fondly at Maude who was presently making a brave attempt at skating backwards. He was surprised to feel the smallest hint of self-doubt. Maude was .. | Anna Adams | ||
| 05fd340 | I guess this is it then," Aria said regretfully. "Maybe strike days aren't so bad after all." "Maybe not," Maxime agreed. They" | Anna Adams | ||
| e5a4f2e | It isn't finished yet, but I thought we could work on it together, since you're supposed to be some sort of 'wizard with words' or something." "I'll ignore that last bit of sarcasm and pretend you just paid me a compliment," Matt declared, unaffected. Maude" | Anna Adams | ||
| 2a66c57 | You've got good taste. Though he seems way more obstinate than Matt ever was. I'd watch out." "I'm not interested in him," Aria said through gritted teeth. "I have a boyfriend." "We'll see," was all Maude answered" | Anna Adams | ||
| 8c2a2dd | Suddenly, she understood. Matt and she had never been friends. They were more, so much more. He drove her crazy. He was incessantly irritating, arrogant, and completely full of himself, but they also had crazy musical chemistry, and he was funny. He made her laugh, when he wasn't laughing at her that is. And she had feelings for him. Never would she have believed herself capable of falling for a guy with whom she couldn't spend over five mi.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 8217d82 | You're so eager to talk about love tonight. Why don't you tell Matt how you really feel about him? All this tiptoeing about all over London, Prague, Berlin, and Milan. What are you waiting for? The right time? You've had all the free time in the world ever since we worked things out. The right place? You're in it. Why don't you tell him how you feel?" Maude" | Anna Adams | ||
| db3465c | Maude, I love you as if you were my own flesh and blood. There, I've said it. You and Matt are the closest thing I've had to children. You're even better because I never had to carry or raise you, thank heavens. May I add, you're the second person tonight to whom I've said the three magic words." Maude squealed and jumped up and down. "So you and Arnaud are together?" Cordelia nodded. "So you're not mad at me for interfering with your love .. | Anna Adams | ||

| 2a1730f | That's where she saw Matt. It couldn't be him, she reasoned. He was in New York. Yet, it was him, she was sure. Same height, same broad shoulders, same mid-length, dark blonde hair. He dug an item out of his jean's pocket, crouched and looked around furtively. That's when he saw her. Putting the item back into his pocket, he rose, and walked to her slowly. "Am I dreaming?" she asked, barely breathing. He stopped inches from her. "We must be.. | Anna Adams | ||

| b4d5a6b | I can fight. I'm no black belt, but I can still stand up for myself. This is how I would react if I ran into a werewolf in a dark alley with ominous music playing. Girls are sick of playing damsels in distress. We're not in the Middle Ages, and this isn't an Arthurian legend." Maude took turns looking at each crew member and actor on the set. "What example would I be giving to girls all over this country if I were to roll over and let this .. | Anna Adams | ||
| 93e8288 | I never hated you, Matt," Maude objected gently. "When we said goodbye in New York, part of my heart remained locked with yours. And when you came to visit your aunt, I knew you were the missing piece. And the night we spent at the Palace" | Anna Adams | ||
| 6903182 | I was green with envy, Maude. Do you take pleasure in tormenting the person who's given you his heart wholeheartedly ever since the day we first met?" "I" | Anna Adams | ||
| f6b904a | Matt's hand brushed Maude's warm cheek, he cupped her chin in his hand and leaned in, his hair brushing her tilted forehead. He stopped inches away from her lips. She gazed, trusting, into his gleaming eyes. Could he hear the erratic beat of her heart? Their lips met in a delicate caress, her lips brushing his. When he untied her hair she offered her lips without reserve and wrapped her arms around his neck, their bodies and souls interweav.. | Anna Adams | ||

| 492b5b1 | As an artist, I love a good scene. I could stamp my feet, take your bouquet, and throw it in your face, I could tell you how badly you acted, how you broke my heart, twice. Instead I'm giving you five minutes to leave the premises quietly without a fuss." Jonathan" | Anna Adams | ||
| f4f52cd | You're the real deal. Audrey de Forteville knows it, and she fears you. Now, you can question those who love you, or you can go out there and prove to everyone that you belong in this world." Maude" | Anna Adams | ||
| 74b65da | You seemed close, and I just didn't know," Matt let out a frustrated sigh. "Rebecca and I broke up months ago. The night you told me our friendship was over, the pain of losing you overshadowed everything. I had to leave, and I had to be honest with Rebecca. I couldn't go on pretending, when my whole world had just collapsed, because the one girl I cared about hated me." "I" | Anna Adams | ||

| 8c7f831 | Maude, you have no idea what this means," Cordelia said impatiently. "It means I met a critic in a restaurant where I was gobbling everything in arm's reach," Maude laughed. "You have no idea who this man is. He's it. Now you're it. If I don't get a call today for a lead role for you today in Milan, my name is not Cordelia Tragent." And" | Anna Adams | ||

| b3a92da | Matt, who was quite happy about his sandwich, thought fast. It would never do to let Maude know he found the sandwich not just delicious, but positively divine. How could two simple slices of bread with a few slices of chicken and a bizarre yellowish sauce make him crave more with each bite? He just needed to convince Maude he was taking no pleasure whatsoever in swallowing the best sandwich he'd eaten in a long time. "I" | Anna Adams | ||

If that was misplaced or mistaken, it could soon come to be seen as carelessness or neglect. Perhaps being a parent was to live in a state of constant fear, where the cost of the freedom of youth lay in the anxiety of those who protected it? Because | James Runcie | ||

"You stole my song, Thomas!" He started to say something, but she interrupted him. "Don't lie to me! It's on the radio right now! Oh my God, is that why you wanted us to have dinner tonight?
