"Thornton. I tried liking the books, but they're not being likable today. And then I was wondering if there was a way to bottle pretty light, because imagine having this blue in a jar on your nightstand. It's like the inside of a sapphire right in my hands!" She tried to pour the blue light into her mouth and it all slipped away.
Thornton grinned in return, squinting just a little at the light in his eye.
"Well," he offered, shrugging,
"maybe another day you'll find a book that is likable." Because that's what Thornton really thought. Liking books was just a matter of finding the right one.
He watched her though, with the blue light. Sapphire was a good description and the light shimmered, even as it disappeared from her hands.
"I bet there is," he said.
"We just have to find it."
