Moon and stars Quote by L.J. Smith
““Mary-Lynnette felt a violent wrench in her chest. For a moment everything seemed suspended-and changed. If Ash were dead-if Ash had been killed… Things would never be all right. She would never be all right. It would be like the night with the moon and stars gone. Nothing that anybody could do would make up for it. Mary-Lynnette didn't know why-it didn't make any sense-but she suddenly knew it was true.””
