Fairy Quote by Lauren Henderson
““Wow,” I breathe as we walk along the road past the parked cars, and come to an arched gate set in a low wall, a drive slanting steeply downhill through the archway. A few Vespa scooters are leaning against the wall, by the gateposts, and at the bottom of the drive is a small house, all its windows blazing with light, music pouring out into the dark velvety night air. It’s like something out of a fairy tale. A modern fairy tale, where Hansel and Gretel don’t get put into a witch’s oven, but dance all night under the stars. And maybe there’ll be a prince to make the fairy take complete , I can’t help thinking, before I firmly forbid myself from speculating about whether Luca will be here.””
