Blank Quote by Holly Smale
““I came to get you. I knew you'd freak out." "But..." My head still feels like a helium balloon. " Why ?" Nick looks blank. "Because you always freak out." I shake my head. My voice feels like I've swallowed it. "I mean, why do you care if I freak out?" There's a long silence. "Well," Wilbur finally bursts, "I can take a shot in the dark, if you want." " Seriously ," Nick snaps, making his fingers into a gun shape. "I'm going to take a shot in the dark in a minute and it will make contact ." Wilbur looks charmed. "Isn't he adorable?" he says fondly. "My duty as Fairy Godmother is complete, anyhoo, and I believe it's time to spread my magic dust elsewhere. So many pumpkins after all; so little time.””
