    “gaze was mysterious and somber. Eyes like those could hypnotize a person. “A couple days after you . . . died.� “Valentine’s Day?� Gray wasn’t sure she’d heard correctly. Raj began studying the lawn of the cemetery. Gray suddenly understood Raj’s fascination with the ground. The grass was obnoxiously green. Probably from all the human fertilizer below. “Want to get out of here?� Raj asked. Gray glanced sideways at her grave then nodded. “I don’t think lying in the damp grass above my grav”

    “Raj chose the table in the back corner of The Daily Grind. The Grind wasn’t your typical dark-paneled, cozy coffee house. The outer walls were glass and the place had a high ceiling.

    “probably get any guy at McKinley High, but there was only one boy she wanted holding her books. She listened for the sound of the Zippo. She turned to look down the hall. Gray felt someone staring at her, but it turned out to be the daggers from Charlene’s eyes prickling the back of her head. Charlene had her locker door open, but she faced into the hallway, glaring at Gray. Gray unzipped a small pouch on her bag and pulled out the pendant. Hopefully, Raj and Adrian were wearing”

    “Twilight Zone revisited would best describe Gray’s first day back at school in a new body, only this time Gray was treated like a returning celebrity rather than a mental case. Students formed circles around her. The braver ones hugged her. If Gray happened to forget certain details of her life before, it was waved off as post-traumatic stress, selective amnesia—totally understandable.”

    Stephen Fry
    “If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

    Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
    Stephen Fry

    “Ryan was on the other side. His pear-shaped head craned around her, the corners of his mouth curving down like a weepy clown’s when he didn’t see Charlene. “Oh my god, she jumped.� Gray rolled her eyes. “No, she floated.� Ryan took in a gasping breath. “Thank god.� Gray pushed ahead of Ryan and hurried down the stairwell. She paused in front of the door leading into the second floor hallway. Ryan caught up to her and looked at her with big round eyes. “Now what?� Gray asked herself.”

    “Raj lifted a finger and the front door shut behind him. With hollow steps he entered the kitchen. Inside, his dad sat at a fold-out table for two sipping from his bottomless cocktail. It was hard to breathe through all the smoke. The ashtray on the table was already full, a book of matches tossed beside it. His dad coughed before asking, “How was school?� Raj shrugged. “Same old.� “You stay out of trouble?”

    Katherine Mansfield
    “Well, Mr. Arnold, here's Mrs. Hammond at last!" The manager led them through the hall himself and pressed the elevator-bell. Hammond knew there were business pals of his sitting at the little hall tables having a drink before dinner. But he wasn't going to risk interruption; he looked neither to the right nor the left.”

    “more space for their clothes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had nowhere to hang a single damn suit because a woman’s closet was so stuffed. Hire a closet planner. She’ll think you’re brilliant.� “She hired one herself a few years back. I need something she hasn’t thought of herself.”

    “that,� he added before she could, “because someone needs to be around here to buy the food and see to the house and the kids.� He patted the air. “I know that, Sarah. I’m the first one to say that your role is as important as mine, it’s just that the demands are different.� He put a hand on the back of his neck.”
