Habits Quote by Rachel Hawthorne
““Jason was the next batter. He did his whole Velcro routine. Then he stepped up to the plate. The first ball went past. “Strike!” I groaned. “Come on, Jason.” He swung at the second. I didn’t realize I was squeezing Tiffany’s and Bird’s hands until Bird said, “You know, bones break under pressure.” “Oh, sorry.” I tried holding my own hands, but it wasn’t as comforting.””
