You could have an afternoon off. Behind Elora's eyes, I can see her resentment of Eve Moon's good gravity, her gratitude, her desire to take advantage of the unexpected offer of a day apart from me. If she accepts, I will refuse. I would love to spend a day with Eve Moon, here in her house. But not at the beach.
Every grain of sand is a planet in the other world.
The ocean is the great gulf of space. I will be drawn into the void and lost. Thank you, Belle, its very sweet of you to offer, Elora says. But it wouldn't work. Eric is very well-behaved with you, but you've never seen him at his worst.
