She took a few steps toward a shelf nearest her and let her fingers rest on the spine of a rather fragile looking tome. She smiled brightly and took a deep breath, smelling the BOOKS! It was like a security blanket to her.
She turned to face Daniel and Milo and smiled. "I think I might have died and gone to Heaven," she said with a dreamy quality to her voice.
